OL 8 yum mirror not providing module metadata

MatthewLinuxJul 22 2019 — edited Jul 25 2019

Hello - I have started to build out some test Oracle Linux 8 servers now that it has been released. When I use the public-yum servers updates seem to work fine, but mirrored locally I'm running into some issues.

First

After switching from public-yum to our local OL 8 yum mirror, running the yum update throws a bunch of errors which look to me like they're do with the AppStream:

# yum update

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

It doesn't seem like the modules are working for AppStream:

Can someone from Oracle research this and respond with any info? Anyone else running into this? Am I doing something wrong?
