I never realised this is what was causing all my incomplete transactions with Satellite! I see this a lot. Indeed, when I upgraded from 6.3.5 to 6.4.2, and owing to bad UI design (see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1678666) accidentally applied all updates to all my servers, I then had to manually go through each and every one separately to unpick the mess yum had made with regard to incomplete transactions. It was a complete nightmare. I'd appreciate a fix for this very much. I had the same problem. I narrowed it down to when the gofer package is being updated, and goferd restarts, the update stops before the cleanup, and causes duplicate packages, and not generating iniramfs. There are 2 workarounds. 1. Update goferd manually from the command line before applying any updates via satellite. 2. Create a custom package that will run a script to update gofer, and push that out via satellite. I chose to go with the 2nd option, and it worked out fine. Thanks, David Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team. Thank you. Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you. |
