Description Stephen Wadeley 2019-07-25 15:34:27 UTC

Description of problem:

Procedures::Packages::Install should be after epel repo check

If you have epel repo enabled and run foreman-maintain its possible it will fail when it tries to get packages for the speed test.


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

[root@dell-r330-12 ~]# rpm -q rubygem-foreman_maintain
rubygem-foreman_maintain-0.4.5-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
depends on packages versions for libpmem at the time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable epel repo (yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm)
2. foreman-maintain upgrade run --target-version 6.6.z --whitelist="disk-performance,repositories-validate,repositories-setup"
3.

Actual results:

~]# foreman-maintain upgrade run --target-version 6.6.z
Running preparation steps required to run the next scenarios
================================================================================
Procedures::Packages::Install: Error: Package: libpmem-devel-1.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libpmem = 1.1-1.el7
           Available: libpmem-1.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
               libpmem = 1.1-1.el7
           Available: libpmem-1.1-4.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms)
               libpmem = 1.1-4.el7
           Available: libpmem-1.2.1-4.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms)
               libpmem = 1.2.1-4.el7
           Available: libpmem-1.3-3.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms)
               libpmem = 1.3-3.el7
           Installing: libpmem-1.4-3.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms)
               libpmem = 1.4-3.el7



Expected results:

Check if EPEL repository enabled on system: 
| Checking for presence of EPEL repository  


Additional info:

foreman-maintain should not attempt to install packages for speed check if you use --whitelist="disk-performance" command option.

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/29002 from this bug

Comment 3 Kavita 2020-02-13 11:59:27 UTC

Hello Stephen,

There are steps that can require some additional steps to be performed before foreman-maintain can proceed. A typical example is installing additional dependencies.
In foreman-maintain, these additional steps are called as preparation steps and these will be run as separate scenario all together.
Through foreman-maintain we can control ordering for checks but running these preparation steps and running pre-upgrade checks are two different scenarios.

To achieve what you have mentioned i.e foreman-maintain should check for epel repo first in case of pre-upgrade checks and 
to avoid repetitive conditional checking of EPEL repository each time for every package install preparation step.
I need to run this EPEL repository check explicitly as a part of preparation steps scenario when any package installation step added.
In results, user will see that this check will be run twice one while running preparation steps and one as part of pre-upgrade checks.

Hello Kaviata

thanks for comment 3

it sounds unavoidable then, the double check.

Thank you
