A `beaker-import` of RHEL 8.5 fails to add AppStream and BaseOS repos. about beaker

@mdujava what you posted is really an issue in CentOS 8 compose. I had a huge discussion about that, but there was 0 willing to change anything, therefore, I aborted any effort. This shouldn't be the case for RHEL as they follow the same strategy for composing thru the whole 8.

Sadly I can't work on this, because I have no clue how 8.5 metadata looks like. I guess someone from RH will need to take a look. I guess you can provide debug output at least

Hey @JohnVillalovos can you compare if your tree is similar to the Centos8 at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/, when importing distrotrees/X#repos is empty, even after .treeinfo contains repository=. and repository = ../../../AppStream/x86_64/os/

beaker-import -v shows that
