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 Paul Dwyer 2019-12-10 10:12:48 UTC 
Not sure if this should be filed under yum or dnf component.

Description of problem:
Customer is using a complex build/configuration process which involves creating services in post section of a kickstart, these services install various rpms from various custom repos (that have signed metadata).

When using this build process with RHEL8.1 rpm installs failed as not all repos were available.

We have narrowed this down to running yum repolist command in sysv init script on startup (running same script in unit file also fails).

This worked on RHEL8.0 and if I upgrade the yum and dnf packages (see below) in the kickstart before rebooting the server I can reproduce the same behaviour.

yum repolist command works correctly in installed system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
The following package versions appear to be involved
dnf-4.2.7-6.el8.noarch.rpm
dnf-data-4.2.7-6.el8.noarch.rpm 
dnf-plugins-core-4.0.8-3.el8.noarch.rpm 
libdnf-0.35.1-8.el8.x86_64.rpm 
libsolv-0.7.4-3.el8.x86_64.rpm 
python3-dnf-4.2.7-6.el8.noarch.rpm 
python3-dnf-plugins-core-4.0.8-3.el8.noarch.rpm
python3-hawkey-0.35.1-8.el8.x86_64.rpm
python3-libdnf-0.35.1-8.el8.x86_64.rpm 
yum-4.2.7-6.el8.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install RHEL8.1 using attached kickstart (modify my.repo to point to your own custom repos)
2. This will run /usr/local/bin/repocheck.sh in sysv init script on start, which runs "yum -y repolist" in a loop until all required repos are listed


Actual results:
The sysv init script outputs the following until all repos are found
INFO: 0 out of 3 REPOs are loaded - Tue 10 Dec 04:51:32 EST 2019
INFO: 0 out of 3 REPOs are loaded - Tue 10 Dec 04:51:38 EST 2019
INFO: 3 out of 3 REPOs are loaded - Tue 10 Dec 04:51:44 EST 2019

script also collects stderr and this shows importing gpg_key but only for first repo it finds, each time through the loop it imports one gpg key until all repo keys are imported

Expected results:
yum -y repolist should import all required keys in one transaction like on RHEL8.0


Additional info:
This also produces same result if I run the repocheck script in a unit file.
This does not appear to be a change in systemd as if I update just the systemd packages in the kickstart from 8.0 to 8.1 versions problem does not reproduce.

The repocheck script is just to illustrate the problem and mimic customer's complex build process.
