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.

Comment 3 Chris Snyder 2019-04-08 18:51:40 UTC 
This requires no code change in subman. Moving to ON_QA for verification against the updated libdnf.
Comment 6 John Sefler 2019-04-24 17:13:23 UTC 
Please understand that there is no subscription-manager code change required for the skip_if_unavailable=false behavior needed to make the yum experience on RHEL8 equivalent to RHEL7|6|5.
I will use this ON_QA subscription-manager bug as a sanity test only to confirm that the change from libdnf Bug 1692452 which appears fixed in libdnf-0.22.5-5.el8_0 from 0-day advisory https://errata.devel.redhat.com/advisory/40907 will work as intended with the RHEL8.0 GA version of subscription-manager-1.23.8-35.el8 from advisory https://errata.devel.redhat.com/advisory/35738

I'll begin with the GA packages demonstrating the undesired behavior...

^^^ NOTICE THE "Failed to synchronize... ignoring this repo" BEHAVIOR BECAUSE skip_if_unavailable DEFAULTS TO TRUE IN libdnf-0.22.5-4.el8.x86_64.  This is undesirable for the sake of a consistent user experience from RHEL7 to RHEL8.

Now let's re-test after updating the libdnf packages to 0.22.5-5.el8_0 (not shown)...

[root@kvm-04-guest20 ~]# rpm -q python3-hawkey python3-libdnf libdnf 
python3-hawkey-0.22.5-5.el8_0.x86_64
python3-libdnf-0.22.5-5.el8_0.x86_64
libdnf-0.22.5-5.el8_0.x86_64

[root@kvm-04-guest20 ~]# yum repolist --disablerepo=beaker*
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - SAP NetWeaver (Debug RPMs) 9.5  B/s |  16  B     00:01

[root@kvm-04-guest20 ~]# echo $?

^^^ BANG! Consistent with RHEL7|6|5 behavior, the yum transaction no longer skips when the repositories (entitled through subscription-manager) is unavailable.  The transaction ceases on the first unavailable repo encountered and exits with a non-zero exit code.
