This is a difference in the way yum works between 5 and 6, our code isn't being touched during this. We need to look into it more to see if we can avoid it via our repo config. I agreed that this may be a difference in the way yum works between rhel5 (yum-3.2.22-33.el5) and rhel6 (yum-3.2.29-7.el6.noarch). Unfortunately it impacts our subscription-manager tests that were originally authored using rhel6. Is it possible that: 1. We could open a defect against RHEL5.7 to pull in a newer version of yum that does not exhibit this failure. (Maybe this has already has been done?) 2. We could run yum on rhel5 (as well as rhel6) with an option or configuration setting that ignores the 403 when running yum repolist. (Does this option/config exist?) Moving over to yum since we can't do anything about this (or shouldn't) from our plugin Additional Info.... Here are the contents of my repo file.... [root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo # # Red Hat Repositories # Managed by (rhsm) subscription-manager # [awesomeos-workstation-scalable-fs] name = awesomeos-workstation-scalable-fs baseurl = https://cdn.redhat.com/path/to/awesomeos-workstation-scalable-fs enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = https://cdn.redhat.com/path/to/awesomeos/gpg/ sslverify = 1 sslcacert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem sslclientkey = /etc/pki/entitlement/key.pem sslclientcert = /etc/pki/entitlement/8367634176913608279.pem metadata_expire = 3600 [awesomeos-modifier] name = awesomeos-modifier baseurl = http://example.com/awesomeos-modifier enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = http://example.com/awesomeos-modifier/gpg sslverify = 1 sslcacert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem sslclientkey = /etc/pki/entitlement/key.pem sslclientcert = /etc/pki/entitlement/834137930840854788.pem [awesomeos-server-scalable-fs] name = awesomeos-server-scalable-fs baseurl = https://cdn.redhat.com/path/to/awesomeos-server-scalable-fs enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = https://cdn.redhat.com/path/to/awesomeos/gpg/ sslverify = 1 sslcacert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem sslclientkey = /etc/pki/entitlement/key.pem sslclientcert = /etc/pki/entitlement/8367634176913608279.pem metadata_expire = 3600 [always-enabled-content] name = always-enabled-content baseurl = https://cdn.redhat.com/foo/path/always enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = https://cdn.redhat.com/foo/path/always/gpg sslverify = 1 sslcacert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem sslclientkey = /etc/pki/entitlement/key.pem sslclientcert = /etc/pki/entitlement/7590966368525320704.pem metadata_expire = 200 [content-label] name = content baseurl = https://cdn.redhat.com/foo/path enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = https://cdn.redhat.com/foo/path/gpg/ sslverify = 1 sslcacert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem sslclientkey = /etc/pki/entitlement/key.pem sslclientcert = /etc/pki/entitlement/7590966368525320704.pem metadata_expire = 0 [never-enabled-content] name = never-enabled-content baseurl = https://cdn.redhat.com/foo/path/never enabled = 0 gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = https://cdn.redhat.com/foo/path/never/gpg sslverify = 1 sslcacert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem sslclientkey = /etc/pki/entitlement/key.pem sslclientcert = /etc/pki/entitlement/7590966368525320704.pem metadata_expire = 600 Here is what I get when running "yum repolist enabled" ... [root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# yum repolist enabled Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager Updating Red Hat repositories. This system is not registered with RHN. RHN Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled. https://cdn.redhat.com/foo/path/always/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 403: Forbidden Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: always-enabled-content. Please verify its path and try again [root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# ^^^ Note the output from yum repolist seems to get blocked on the first 403 and the output does not produce a any list of enabled repos. On the otherhand, rhel 6 does produce a list of enabled repos depite the 403 error. I'd like to see the same behavior in rhel5.7 as I see in rhel6. Ok, so if I apply the following, then it should do what you want ... and the only conflicts I get are in docs/yum.8
It's still quite a bit for RHEL-5, but I'm ok with it (it should all be confined to repolist command):
