Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 Daniel Mach 2019-05-14 13:09:35 UTC 
Background:
redhat.repo contains ui_repoid_vars variables.
Some details on how the ui_repoid_vars variable works can be found in bug#906554.

YUM based on DNF doesn't support this variable at the moment.
We think the behavior should stay as it is.
Commands such as `yum repolist` should show plain repoids without any additions that might make users think that the actual repoid is the whole string with vars.


Change request:
Change subscription manager to stop generating the ui_repoid_vars variables in redhat.repo (remove the lines completely from the file).
These records are not used and only trigger a warning in dnf.log.
Comment 4 Chris Snyder 2020-09-02 15:18:37 UTC 
Looks like it is fixed in the current and near future releases.
