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:
My guess is that when the PackageKit yum plugin is executed after any yum transaction (the timeout for that probably also needs changing in RHEL6 per Fedora) it notices an install CD. Then it adds this media device, even if I've deleted it before. So I am unable to have install media in the drive because it'll break my yum configuration, which is annoying if you leave the CD in a server and can't remove it immediately as you have to delete the media files each time yum runs, and/or make sure the media is not mounted.
Jon.
I'm not sure how to fix this. Either inserting a CD works out of the box, or it doesn't. We could perhaps add an option in /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf, but this seems non-optimal. Ideas welcome.
I really think the install media repo should be created by the installer if it was used (like it is on other distros) and that PackageKit should have nothing to do with this.

Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

If I remember correctly, the installer team didn't want to do that. I also think it's more useful that media repos work out of the box as soon as a media repo is inserted, rather than having to add it manually; any packages older than the ones provided remotely/by satellite will just be ignored.
