!!! info "Associated release criterion"
    This test case is associated with the [Release_Criteria#repositories-must-match-upstream](9_release_criteria.md#repositories-must-match-upstream) release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.

## Description
This test will verify that packages that are availble from upstream do not have hard requirements on `subscription-manager` (RHSM).

## Setup
1. Obtain access to an environment with the `dnf` command.
2. Download the ISO to be tested to that machine.

## How to test
1. Mount the ISO to be tested locally.
2. Obtain a list of packages that have `Requires:` for `subscription-manager`
    - Example:<br>`package_list=($(dnf --refresh repoquery --repofrompath BaseOS,/media/BaseOS --repo BaseOS --repofrompath AppStream,/media/AppStream --repo AppStream --whatrequires subscription-manager 2>/dev/null| grep el8))`
3. Download the packages with explicity `Requires:` for `subscription-manager`
    - Example:<br>`dnf --repofrompath BaseOS,/media/BaseOS --repo BaseOS --repofrompath AppStream,/media/AppStream --repo AppStream download "${package_list[@]}"`
4. Obtain the `SOURCEPKG` definition for the above packages
    - Example:<br>`rpm -q --queryformat="%{NAME}|%{SOURCERPM}\n" subscription-manager*.rpm | column -s\| -t`
4. Unmount the ISO.

## Expected Results
1. No packages have an explicit requirement for `subscription-manager`.
