Additional Context
For the EL 9 changes, in testing I found that the
yum install
command would often not complete successfully when using an init image. The root cause seems to be some type of race condition where during systemd startup /var/cache/dnf is not always available by the time yum (dnf) is invoked, causing an error such as[Errno 2 No such file or directory: '/var/cache/dnf/metadata_lock.pid'
during the yum/dnf run.Checklist
