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.

Description Rehana 2018-08-07 15:19:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
Observed that redhat.repo file was populated after running dnf repolist -d3 twice on the system . 

Note: You need to follow the below workaround to load the plugins the repos ; separate Bug 1613454 was logged to track this 

# echo 'pluginpath=/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dnf-plugins,/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf-plugins' >> /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12 pluginconf.d]# cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf 
[main]
gpgcheck=1

dnf-plugin-subscription-manager-1.21.5-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Since yum and dnf can co-exist on RHEL76 , make sure the all the yum plugins are disabled (to make sure the dnf is not using the file that are already populated by yum ) 

[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12 pluginconf.d]# subscription-manager config --list | grep auto_enable
   auto_enable_yum_plugins = 0

[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12 pluginconf.d]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/search-disabled-repos.conf | grep enabled
enabled=0

[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12 pluginconf.d]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf | grep enabled
enabled=0

[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12 pluginconf.d]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/product-id.conf | grep enabled
enabled=0

[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12 pluginconf.d]# subscription-manager unregister
This system is currently not registered.
[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12 pluginconf.d]# yum clean all 
There are no enabled repos.
 Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
 To enable Red Hat Subscription Management repositories:
     subscription-manager repos --enable <repo>
 To enable custom repositories:
     yum-config-manager --enable <repo>

[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12 pluginconf.d]# dnf clean all
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
8 files removed


2. Now register and auto-attach the system 
# subscription-manager register --auto-attach

The registered system name is: ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-12.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com
Installed Product Current Status:

3) Delete the redhat.repo file ( only to be tried on rhel76, as the redhat.repo file is already populated by yum)

4) dnf replist -d3 
Observed the repos were not listed 

# dnf repolist -d3

Actual results:
Repos are now listed after second attempt

Expected results:
repos should be listed immediatly
