Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
.YUM now handles `proxy=\_none_` correctly
You can use the YUM `proxy=\_none_` configuration option to prohibit changing proxy settings. Previously, if you set `proxy=\_none_` in the main configuration file, YUM detected an error. This update fixes the bug, and YUM now handles `proxy=\_none_` correctly.
NOTE: The RHEL 8 YUM `proxy=\_none_` configuration is compatible with the YUM configuration in RHEL 7.
Description of problem:
proxy=_none_ is not handled correctly by dnf in RHEL 8 when used instead of empty string as per man page of dnf.conf (For backward compatibility, '_none_' can be used instead of the empty string)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-4.7.0-11.el8.noarch
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Added proxy=_none_ in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
# grep proxy /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
proxy=_none_
2. Clean cache and repolist
# dnf repolist -v
Actual results:
Fails with:
