Ran this against the current nightly build of RHEL 6.8. The message does not appear and everything seems normal. I'd bet this is due to the fix for Bug 1268376.

Note that Fedora 21 still shows this issue, but I'd bet the API will not get updated as Fedora is going to dnf.

subscription-manager.spec will reflect the yum version in RHEL 6.8.

master commit 88f7183a7f0ab2955995e238cc221af5f4eadc3e

The fix for this BZ is in upstream master and will be included in the next build available on the errata for RHEL 6.8. As such, I'm moving this BZ to the modified state.

Marking bug as verified

# With notify_only=1 this plugin does not modify yum's behaviour.

# IMPORTANT: running yum with --assumeyes (or assumeyes config option)
# will make yum automatically and without prompting the user temporarily
# enable all repositories, and if it helps resolve dependencies yum will
# permanently enable the repos that helped without prompting the user.

Dependency resolving failed due to missing dependencies.
Some repositories on your system are disabled, but yum can enable them
and search for missing dependencies. This will require downloading
metadata for disabled repositories and may take some time and traffic.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
