Compliance policy assigned

No traceback in production.log
Comment 4 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2019-09-19 09:35:05 UTC 
It is bound to one certain policy. Operations involving it fail, e.g. assigning it to a host or changing the policy's hostgroup. Creating a new policy and using it instead, everything works.

Build:Satellite 6.7 snap7

Steps:
1. Create a host with policy 
2. Generate arf reports for that policy and host
3. Delete the host
4. Assign the same policy to another host. 


The policy assignment was successful and no errors were observed
