Failed EUS Repositories

Redhat adds Extended Update Support (EUS) repos to the list by default.  These require extra licensing to access and can be disabled.

Fix for most cases

sudo subscription-manager repos \
  --disable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-eus-rpms \
  --disable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms
sudo dnf update -y

sudo subscription-manager repos --list-enabled

Disable repos by name
