Description of problem: When running `insights-client` as a non-root user (such as the ec2-user on Amazon EC2), the tool exits with a cryptic (pun intended) error message "No GPG-verified eggs can be found". It works properly when run with sudo. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): insights-client-3.0.5-4.el8.noarch How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL 8 (or launch the RHEL 8 quickstart image in EC2) 2. Log in to a shell as a non-root user (e.g. ec2-user) 3. Run `insights-client --help` Actual results: "No GPG-verified eggs can be found" Expected results: The usage help should be displayed regardless of the user running it. When using any other arguments, they expected behavior should be performed or else the system should report that it is lacking permissions and suggest running as root. Additional info: The specific error here appears to be because the /etc/insights-client/redhattools.pub.gpg file is: -r--r-----. 1 root root 1147 Apr 20 2018 redhattools.pub.gpg meaning it is not readable by any user other than root. Which seems useless, as a GPG public key is intended, by definition, to be publicly readable.

Manually modifying that file to be world-readable allows the `--help` text to be displayed. Running the connection test (or anything else), then errors out with: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-87-72 insights-client]$ insights-client --test-connection ERROR: Could not read configuration file, using defaults Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/insights-client", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('insights-client==3.0.5', 'console_scripts', 'insights-client')() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/insights_client/__init__.py", line 114, in _main config['logging_file'], backupCount=3) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/logging/handlers.py", line 150, in __init__ BaseRotatingHandler.__init__(self, filename, mode, encoding, delay) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/logging/handlers.py", line 57, in __init__ logging.FileHandler.__init__(self, filename, mode, encoding, delay) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/logging/__init__.py", line 1032, in __init__ StreamHandler.__init__(self, self._open()) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/logging/__init__.py", line 1061, in _open return open(self.baseFilename, self.mode, encoding=self.encoding) PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/insights-client/insights-client.log' This should be caught and the user told that they need to run as root for these operations.
