Description Flags
rhsm-debug system tarball on a 7.1.z x86_64 machine none

Description Miroslav Vadkerti 2016-03-16 12:44:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
While testing RHEL-7.1 EUS via live RHSM account I have found that after auto-attach the system gets also aus repos enabled, which are empty [1]. When doing update the yum will fail on these empty repos with 404.

I contacted release-engineering with the issue and I got this response:

""" It is correct that the 7.1 AUS repo does not exist.  We wouldn't want to create  an empty one just to avoid the 404 as it may give a false impression that 7.1  AUS is supported.  If we want to avoid the 404, I would suggest an RFE against the subscription-manager yum plugin.  It could detect that 7.1 does not apply to AUS and provide some kind of a warning. """

Thus I am filling this bug to get this annoying issue fixed. I am not sure also our customers see this, if so, this could be really unpleasant for them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.15.9-15.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL7.1 GA machine
2. Subscribe via qa on live RHSM, auto-attach
3. yum update

Actual results:
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/aus/rhel/server/7/7.1/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found
Trying other mirror.

Expected results:
Empty AUS repos skipped

Additional info:
I see these issues only on x86_64 RHEL7.1

Please attach the contents from "rhsm-debug system"to this bug. This is likely a misconfigured product or pool but I need those details to be able to tell for sure.

I would do that, but it looks like in the mean time somebody deleted those repos!

So looks like this issue is now fixed. Kudos to the unknown savior.

Comment 6 Barnaby Court 2016-04-25 19:34:58 UTC 
subscription-manager & candlepin have no way of knowing which repos are valid or invalid between minor versions of RHEL.
Comment 18 Lubos Kocman 2017-01-04 14:38:17 UTC 
Hello Miroslav,

comments by Dennis are actually sugesting that this should be fixed by candlepin itself, which is not owned by rel-eng, moving to candlepin.
