Description Jan Stodola 2022-12-05 15:49:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
There is an error when installing insights-client as part of a system installation process:

...

Unfortunately there is no reliable reproducer, most probably due to the order of the packages being installed in the transaction.
However the same problem can be reproduced when installing insights-client into a clean install root:


# mkdir /root/installroot
# yum install --installroot=/root/installroot/ insights-client

yum install --installroot=/root/installroot/ insights-client

Installing insights-client to a clean installroot.

kickstart

The bug can be reproduced on the latest RHEL-8.8 development compose when running a kickstart installation and excluding packages with weak dependencies:

%packages --excludeWeakdeps
%end

The whole kickstart is attached. In this case the installation stops and it's not possible to continue.

Proposing as a blocker.
