Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Description Terry Bowling 2019-03-15 19:58:59 UTC

Depending on testing with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1679509#c10, we are hopeful that code change is only required in libdnf for that bz1679509.

This bz is for tracking, ensure sufficient testing is performed, and determine if additional changes are required for the component of this BZ.

Please test according to the the test builds in cmt10 (or later) above, as well as cmt 11 explaining the concerns and goals.

Comment 4 Chris Snyder 2019-06-21 18:47:12 UTC

Moving to ON_QA for testing. Be advised there have been no new code changes for subscription-manager to implement this. We are testing compatibility of the dnf changes made to implement this.

Comment 5 Rehana 2019-06-27 08:34:11 UTC

As mentioned in the comment 4, there is no subscription-manager code change required for the skip_if_unavailable=false.I will use this ON_QA subscription-manager bug as a sanity test only to confirm that the change from libdnf works with latest subscription-manager build for 8.1

^ Notice that the yum transaction no longer skips when the repositories (entitled through subscription-manager) are unavailable.  The transaction ceases on the first unavailable repo encountered and exits with a non-zero exit code.

Based on the observations, moving the bug to verified.

Comment 8 Pino Toscano 2022-02-17 14:30:47 UTC

Verified and shipped long time ago, hence closing now.
