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

[JohnVillalovos]

When importing RHEL 8.5 using beaker-import it fails to add the AppStream and BaseOS repos. This causes the install of restraint to fail as there are no repos available to download the required make package.

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

@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.
