Bug #31201

EL8 clients do not always show available package updates and errata
Added by Eric Helms about 4 years ago.
Updated almost 4 years ago.
Description
Using a repository pointed to https://jlsherrill.fedorapeople.org/fake-repos/needed-errata/ and an activation key containing the subscription for that Product/Repository.
When working with an EL8 client, the following workflow works to show available errata:
- Register an EL8 client with sub-man using an activation key
- yum install walrus-0.71
- yum update show the correct results
- hammer host errata list --host `hostname` shows the correct results
The workflow that does not appear to work:
- Register with sub-man to --environment="Library"
- Attach subscription through the UI
- subscription-manager refresh
- yum install walrus-0.71
- yum update shows no update available
- hammer host errata list --host `hostname` does not show available errata
- Target version set to Katello 4.0.0
- Triaged changed from No to Yes
Attempted to reproduce on master:
[vagrant@centos8 ~]$ sudo yum install walrus-0.71
