Fixed In Version:	spacewalk-java-2.0.2-56	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: In RHEL 7 the packages contained in the @Core package group are different from what was in @Core in RHEL 6. Consequence: Some packages, specifically wget, perl, and the rhn client tools, are not installed by default when doing a kickstart. Later parts of the kickstart require these packages to be installed, and were failing. Fix: We added the necessary packages to the list of packages that we explicitly require for RHEL 7 kickstarts. Result: Now the kickstart can proceed normally with all of the package dependencies met.	Story Points:	---

Description Jan Hutař 2013-12-18 14:27:33 UTC

Description of problem:
When you reprovision RHEL7 system, you get system without rhn-clients installed and errors in /root/ks-rhn-post.log


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cobbler-2.0.7-39.el6sat.noarch
spacewalk-java-2.0.2-46.el6sat.noarch


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create KS profile with wizard, without any other touches
2. Register RHEL7 system and reprovision it


Actual results:
System without rhn-clients installed and errors in /root/ks-rhn-post.log


Expected results:
E.g. rhn_check should work on the system. No errors should be in /root/ks-rhn-post.log


Additional info:
Errors in the /root/ks-rhn-post.log file are:

Comment 1 Jan Hutař 2013-12-18 14:37:21 UTC

One symptom of this bug might be this (if not, I have to create extra bug-report):

When reprovisioning RHEL7 system and following provisioning status on Systems -> <system> -> Provisioning -> Kickstart -> Session Status, "Kickstart complete" is never marked as done even when system was already reinstalled.

Comment 2 Stephen Herr 2013-12-18 15:13:48 UTC

Ah, this is because the rpms installed by default have changed in RHEL 7. I'll have to add perl, wget, and the rhn client tools to the list of packages we tell it to install for RHEL 7 kickstarts. And yes, this problem would also cause the "Kickstart complete" symptom.
