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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 of problem:
libdnf context doesn't honor skip_if_unavailable=True for local repositories
# rpm -q libdnf
libdnf-0.34.0-0.3g10ba5293.fc29.x86_64
# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/local2.repo
[local2]
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
name=local2
baseurl=file:///no/such/repo
skip_if_unavailable=1
It can be reproduced by microdnf:
# microdnf install iftop
Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18)
Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18)

Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18)
Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18)
error: /no/such/repo was not found
DNF works OK ("local2" repo is skipped):
# dnf repoquery iftop
local2 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:00
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'local2'
Ignoring repositories: local2
Last metadata expiration check: 0:12:00 ago on Mon Jun 3 09:50:06 2019.
iftop-0:1.0-0.18.pre4.fc29.x86_64
It affect only local and media repos. Remote repos are handled correctly. Example with remote repo "virtualbox" (repo is skipped):
# microdnf install iftop
