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 Bryan Gurney 2019-05-29 20:22:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
Running "dnf info" on a package that is not installed, but is available in an attached repository, fails if executed as a non-root user.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-4.0.9.2-5.el8.noarch

How reproducible:
Seems to be 100%, but I've only tried it with the emacs package so far.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 8.0.0 on a system from the ISO, creating a non-root user.
2. Register the system via subscription-manager in the GUI (or auto-attach).
3. Grant sudo access to the non-root user via "visudo"
4. As the non-root user, execute "dnf info" on a package that is not installed, but should be available in an attached repository.

Actual results:
$ yum info emacs
Not root, Subscription Management repositories not updated

Expected results:
(Something similar to the "sudo dnf info" output)
$ sudo dnf info emacs

Additional info:
In RHEL 7, running "dnf info" on a non-installed package will successfully show the info for the package.

Note that this failure does not appear for packages that are installed in the "@System" repository:

Comment 1 Daniel Mach 2019-06-03 11:33:14 UTC 
The root cause seems to be:
> Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms', ignoring this repo.
> Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms', ignoring this repo.

I believe they can't be downloaded because non-root user doesn't have access to the entitlement certificate.
Reassigning to subscription-manager as these repos are managed by their plugin.
