It's a Could not parse metalink error. Nothing we can do about it.

[0xmichalis]

@stevekuznetsov is this tracked elsewhere?

[stevekuznetsov]

#8571 is similar and links some other related issues but this may be nice to keep open for:

• the customer success team @rhcarvalho @sosiouxme to track their check
• for other devs to find this more easily when their jobs fail

[sosiouxme]

This is a random failure while running a repoquery command, not a formal check. But you could run into something like this almost anywhere you hit yum. I've opened openshift/openshift-ansible#4686 as a suggestion for improvement.

closing in deference to openshift/openshift-ansible#4686
