Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-08-29 14:36:43 UTC 
Can be fixed by:

$ sudo chmod 0644 /etc/pki/entitlement/*

but this really shouldn't be necessary.
Comment 4 Kevin Howell 2018-10-18 14:21:52 UTC 
> $ sudo chmod 0644 /etc/pki/entitlement/*

What were the permissions originally? I assume this is as a non-root user?

I've no idea, I didn't knowingly touch any of these files.

Yes, running yumdownloader as non-root.
Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-10-18 15:23:09 UTC 
Do you mean before I chmod'd them?  Again, I'm not sure, except
they were not readable as non-root before.

What's interesting is that no RPM contains these files.  It seems as
if they were created as a side effect of something else
(perhaps running S-M?) and because they are not readable as
non-root, that breaks yumdownloader.
Comment 7 Kevin Howell 2018-10-25 14:16:01 UTC 
Given that installing packages requires root, and a simple chmod should do the trick, we're not going to support this use case.

FWIW, on my local machine, the permissions were 644 by default, maybe the umask setting affects this? Either way a simple `sudo chmod 644 -R /etc/pki/entitlement` works if you hit this.
