Description jcallaha 2016-04-22 14:13:50 UTC
Description of problem:
When attempting to apply an errata to a host, whose katello agent wasn't being recognized, you are given a 400 error. Looking into journalctl while running the command gives the error below. This may be because the katello-agent is needed to determine applicable errata.  

pulp.server.webservices.middleware.exception:INFO: Unable to find errata with unit_key [{'id': 'RHBA-2015:1910'}] in bound repos [[u'Default_Organization-rhel72_base-rhel7_repo']] to consumer [38129cab-92c0-4dd9-96c3-9f0ac11e001a]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.2 Beta Snap 9.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Supply a valid errata id when attempting to apply errata to a host that either doesn't have katello agent installed, or that satellite isn't recognizing katello agent properly
2. Check the error message that is returned

Actual results:
[root@qeblade36 ~]# hammer host errata apply --host-id 3 --errata-ids RHBA-2015:1910
[..............................................................................................................] [100%]
400 Bad Request


Expected results:
[root@qeblade36 ~]# hammer -u admin -p changeme host errata apply --host-id 3 --errata-ids RHBA-2015:1910
Unable to find errata with id 'RHBA-2015:1910' that can be applied to <host name>

Comment 3 Zach Huntington-Meath 2016-04-27 17:40:22 UTC
The issue from this appears to come from the version of Restclient that we are using. When it returns a response with a code of 400 it doesn't give the whole response, just a 400 error. https://git.io/vwrGg

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
