Description thomas.seip 2016-04-21 09:26:11 UTC

Description of problem:
Spacewalk seems to change the metadata of SLES 12 RPMs.
For instance the attribute "Support Level" is missing (this is not critical) and for pattern RPMs the requirements & recommended packages change (this is critical).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Spacewalk 2.4

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register SLES 12 SP1 client to Spacewalk 2.4 Server. Spacewalk Server is synchronizing its repository data from a local SUSE SMT server.
2. Run "zypper info --requires patterns-sle-gnome-basic"
3. Pay attention to the output sections "Support Level" and "Requires"

Actual results:
This is the output from when the system is checking against the Spacewalk repo:

zypper info --requires patterns-sle-gnome-basic

Additional info:
As you see almost all the recommended packages are missing and also the required packages have changed.
SUSE manager 2.1 (which is based on Spacewalk afaik) doesn't show this behavior. I've created a custom channel there too, set it to synchronize against the SMT Repo and there are no issues.

Comment 1 Michael Mráka 2019-10-21 13:12:11 UTC

Spacewalk 2.8 (and older) has already reached it's End Of Life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against current version
of Spacewalk 2.9, you are encouraged change the 'version' and re-open it.
