In the last good run, we were getting this fence-agents-common rpm from appstream.

[Sandeep Yadav (sandeepyadav93)]

This was resolved automatically after mirror sync today, We have proposed a fix[1] to avoid this kind of issue in our image build job due to mirror issues.

    Pass centos.repo from host during image build.

    We are facing an issue during image build in the related bug,
    because mirrors.centos.org and vexx mirrors are not in sync.

    The base image which we use to build overcloud images already have
    centos.repo and when proxy mirros are not updated this can cause
    an issue.

    This is a workaround patch to pass centos.repo(which are disabled
    on host) so that same repos in the image will be overridden.

    One change in behavior is at the end of image build, dib will delete
    the centos.repos in the overcloud image as dib cleans up what it adds
    ignoring what was already present.
