yum commands fail with Config Error: File contains no section headers.file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo, line: 9'[]\n'
Issue
After a "yum update" got interpreted, all yum commands return the following error:
Config Error: File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo, line: 9
'[]\n'
The /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo file now looks as follows:
# Certificate-Based Repositories
# Managed by (rhsm) subscription-manager
#
# If this file is empty and this system is subscribed consider
# a "yum repolist" to refresh available repos
#
