Description Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2004-07-16 08:33:41 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2)

Description of problem:
I'm having trouble getting one system to sync to the rpms from another
systsm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kickstart a system with RH Desktop 3 (bootstraping it to the sat)
2. rename the profile of this system to 'old_machine'
3. kickstart again, naming this one 'machine'
4. log on, rpm -e xsane-gimp, up2date -p
5. go to Sat webpage, compare the package list of 'machine' agains
'old_machine'
6. select 'xsane-gimp', trigger a sync to 'old_machine'

Actual Results:  error page telling me:
'Missing Packages ...'

xsane-gimp-0.89-3 is listed, but in the table the column for the
Channel is empty.

Click on xsane-gimp-0.89-3 to verify that it is indeed in the channel
'rhel-i386-desktop-3'

List the systems subscribed to this channel, both 'machine' and
'old_machine' are listed

Expected Results:  sheduling of xsane-gimp for roll out on 'machine'

Additional info:

As this job started Monday, we're still using 3.2.0-12

Also, the following packages were installed by hand because they are
not yet available for RH Desktop 3:
  rhncfg-client-3.1.6-12.noarch.rpm
  rhncfg-3.1.6-12.noarch.rpm
  rhncfg-actions-3.1.6-12.noarch.rpm
  rhncfg-management-3.1.6-12.noarch.rpm

Both systems are subscribed to the following channels:
    *  Red Hat Desktop (v. 3 for x86)
          o Desktop 3 externe Multimedia Packete
          o Interne Packete fuer Desktop 3
          o Red Hat Desktop (v. 3 for x86) Extras
          o Red Hat Developer Suite (for Desktop x86)

Where 'Desktop 3 externe Multimedia Packete' contains mozilla-flash,
mplayer and deps from an external source (but does not contain
anything related to xsane or gimp from what I can see)

And 'Interne Packete fuer Desktop 3' contains some internal packages,
again no relation to xsane or gimp.

Comment 1 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2004-07-16 08:40:27 UTC
FWIW, when going through 'Systems', 'machine', 'Packages', 'Install
New Packages', select xsane-gimp, confirm. Then run rhn_check on the
machine, package is installed fine.

Comment 2 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2004-07-16 08:46:43 UTC
One more note, rolling back to a snapshot where xsane-gimp was still
installed works just like expected, so at least we have a work around
for those cases where something gets broken on the machine but it is
mnot yet re-installed.

Comment 3 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2004-07-16 09:29:42 UTC
updated to the 3.2.0-23, no change.

Comment 5 Todd Warner 2004-09-01 16:06:22 UTC
RHN Sat 3.4?

Comment 6 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2004-09-02 09:04:07 UTC
taw:
no, 3.2. The last time I had access to the Sat in question, we were at
3.2.0-23 and the problem persisted.
Have you been able to reproduce this on 3.2 but not on 3.4?

GSS:
as you seem to also see the bug (IT #48060); do you see it on 3.4 as well?

Comment 7 Thomas Uebermeier 2004-09-03 09:17:45 UTC
No, the Sat in IT #48060 is still on 3.2, has there been made any 
attempts to fix this in 3.4 ? 

Comment 8 Klaus Wurmstein 2004-09-24 08:52:03 UTC
I successfully updated the SAT to 3.4 today.

But the described comparison-problem still exists...

regards

Klaus 



Comment 9 Robin Norwood 2004-09-27 15:35:48 UTC
upping priority to 'HIGH', but it might still get deferred, as time is
short and the buglist is long... :-(

Comment 10 Robin Norwood 2004-09-29 18:16:14 UTC
I haven't been able to reproduce this bug with the latest code.  I
will try reproducing it with version 3.4.0.

Comment 11 Robin Norwood 2004-09-29 20:02:38 UTC
I can't reproduce this in 3.4.0, either.  Can anyone get me more
information - does this happen with any other packages or base channels?
Do you get the same error syncing to a stored package profile?

Comment 12 Thomas Uebermeier 2004-10-01 13:18:02 UTC
- it happens with all packages (even in custom channels). 
- there is only 1 base channel, therefore no testing with different 
ones 
- when syncing to a stored package profile the error does not come up 
 
What informations do you need for further debugging ? 

Comment 14 Bastien Nocera 2004-10-01 15:40:33 UTC
As the problem has been reported as fixed by the customer, closing.
Thanks Robin for the help.
