Problem:
We are trying to add centos 8 for provisioning. We have added the product and content view as described in this document: https://computingforgeeks.com/sync-centos-8-repositories-on-satellite-katello-foreman/
Expected outcome:
We found that when we tried to provision a box several rpms were missing that our kickstart had listed. These rpms are available in the appstream “Product”, but not available in the “Content View” We expect to see the same rpms available in the content view that are available in the product. For example, these should show the same rpms:
ls /var/lib/pulp/published/yum/https/repos/carfax/Library/custom/centos_8/centos_8_appstream/Packages/ | grep ^x
ls /var/lib/pulp/published/yum/https/repos/carfax/Library/custom/centos_8/centos_8_appstream/Packages/ | grep ^x

Distribution and version:
Other relevant data:
We have deleted the content view and product, and tried multiple times to recreate them, but every time we publish the content view, rpms are missing in the directory of the content view. The package number list on the GUI indicates that the rpms should be there.
