…causes commands like “yum search --enablerepo=* foo” to fail with the obscure error
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'base-debuginfo'
Apparently this is because the debug info RPMs aren’t hosted there any more, per the page at the top of the site. However, when I edit that file to point to the Facebook mirror linked from the top of the debuginfo.centos.org site, I get the same error, even after assorted remediations: dnf makecache, dnf update, etc.
Any ideas on how to fix it, hopefully in a way that lands in a CentOS 8.next, so it doesn’t have to be fixed manually?
And in the meantime, is there a short syntax for “search all repos other than the debuginfo ones”? I could list every repo in a comma-separated list, but ugh.

yum search --enablerepo=* --disablerepo=*-debuginfo foo

Well, I guess that it's because repodata weren't even generated .. ? http://debuginfo.centos.org/8/x86_64/
