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 Tom Gugel 2019-05-11 19:31:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
dnf.log is full of the 2 error messages 

Unknown configuration option: ui_repoid_vars = basearch in /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo

Unknown configuration option: enable_metadata = 0 in /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo

At least ui_repoid_vars is deprecated according to RHEL 8 release notes.
Could not find anything on enable_metadata.

It is annoying to have the log full and scattered with these messages


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
On every action you take with dnf because this is in redhat.repo for all the different repos stored there.


Actual results: error messages


Expected results: if both are deprecated this should be removed from redhat.repo or the error messages discarded. Is it safe to discard them on own action from redhat.repo?


Additional info:
Comment 1 Daniel Mach 2019-05-20 11:16:21 UTC 
It is safe to remove ui_repoid_vars from the config file, but it will probably be rewritten by subscription manager as this config is generated.
We're working with the subscription management team on removing it from the files.

The enable_metadata option is used by PackageKit and we're going to fix the issue on our end.
Comment 2 Tom Gugel 2019-05-24 06:41:54 UTC 
Ok, thanks for the response. If this will all be fixed on your side/the subscription management team there is no need to do this manually now.
Especially if there is the danger of being rewritten all the time.
Comment 8 Daniel Mach 2019-07-30 10:21:34 UTC 
The fix is part of subscription-manager-1.25.13-1.el8
