Description Pavel Studeník 2017-01-06 13:50:25 UTC

Description of problem:
I wanted create Fedora channel with synced packages from fedora's repository

https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-25&arch=x86_64

I received error and no packages were synced

ERROR: File /var/cache/rhn/reposync/1/External Fedora 25/metalink.xml does not exist

I tried same task on Satellite 5.7 and older version works good
spacewalk-backend-tools-2.3.3-45.el6sat.noarch

It looks that it is regression. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk-backend-tools-2.5.3-48.el6sat.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create channel and add custom repository (https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-25&arch=x86_64)
2. try to sync repo by webui and look at log with result

Actual results:
= Satellite 5.8 =
2017/01/06 15:16:06 +03:00 Command: ['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'fedora25-x86_64', '--type', 'yum', '--latest', '--sync-kickstart']
2017/01/06 15:16:06 +03:00 Sync of channel started.
