Description Corey Welton 2014-08-13 17:02:51 UTC 
Description of problem:

Capsule installer will fail, referencing a missing katello-ca package.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.0.4-RHEL-6-20140806.0

How reproducible:
Unsure yet.  It has been suggested that re-running installer might fix this.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Register target system to your satellite
2.  Attempt to install capsule installer
3.

Actual results:
Failure, with the logfile pointing to 

[ERROR 2014-08-13 12:47:43 main]  Execution of '/usr/bin/yum install -y katello-ca' returned 1: Loaded plugins:

Expected results:
Capsule installs

Additional info:
Apparently this issue has been known upstream for a while.  re-running the installer seemed to work, and I guess that is a workaround.  But this is a terrible user experience.

Comment 3 Dominic Cleal 2014-08-14 08:27:47 UTC 
Specifically, it's trying to install a package "katello-ca" that isn't available, or doesn't exist?

Comment 4 Ivan Necas 2014-08-15 08:54:41 UTC 
Yes, rerunning the capsule-installer should be a workaround for this,

The fix is included with the fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873753 and the upstream patch is opened here https://github.com/Katello/puppet-capsule/pull/12/files#diff-60ae41fd0a31977447947f59940ee9a4R234

Comment 7 Corey Welton 2014-08-27 20:51:00 UTC 
This seems to be ok now.  Will reopen if it resurfaces.
