packaging test in CI hangs more than 20 minutes in docker build

[jcvenegas]

The packages in CI are build using a dockerfile the dockerfile takes more than 20 minutes in a single installation step. We need to find out the rootcause why is takaing a long time and re-enable tests.

I tried locally and it is working. The problem seems that only happen in the CI VMs.

It is when the Dockerfile to install osc tries to pull metadata from suse servers.

It even hangs running:
RUN zypper -v -n ref

Here the output:

Step 5/15 : RUN zypper -v -n ref

Hmm. My gut instinct shouts 'proxy' something, but I wonder if this might be to do with the http/https re-direction - that was on SuSe was it @jodh-intel ?

Yep - see kata-containers/documentation#83 (comment).
