DNF should acquire dependencies among repositories. I saw so many EPEL bug
reports explained by missing powertools repository. The history will repeat.
It... currently does, but only at the RPM level. So we can ensure the powertools
repo
exists, but we can't easily override it to be enabled.
Long term I want to see dnf allowing overrides in a generic way, but this probably
won't be available in EL until at least EL10 or later. Short term... editing the
repo file, either by hand / with sed or with dnf config-manager, is the only way.
One problem is, once you touch the .repo file, you will no longer pick up any changes
introduced by later RPM updates (though that's rare) since they are marked
`%config(noreplace)`
