Description of problem:

virt-who package installation failed on satellite server due to foreman-protector plugin

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite-6.7.0-5.beta.el7sat.noarch


How reproducible:
New installation 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install satellite 6.7 Beta 
2. If you have a virtual platform and Virtual DataCenter subscriptions you should configure virt-who 
3. Configure Virt-who through satellite WebUI by following below steps
 
5.2. Deploying a virt-who Configuration on Satellite Server
 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.7-beta/html-single/configuring_virtual_machine_subscriptions_in_red_hat_satellite/index#deploying-a-virt-who-configuration

Actual results:  

WebUI --> Infrastructure --> Virt-who Configurations --> Create config --> Submit Details 
   This will redirect you to the overview and Deploy page, where you can find below details on-page then paste the Hammer command into your terminal.

# hammer virt-who-config deploy --id 1 --organization-id 3

Comment 3 Marek Hulan 2020-02-21 08:01:31 UTC

We need to use foreman-maintain to unlock the packages to install virt-who. The deploy script can be used outside of Satellite machine too, so we should check if foreman-maintain is installed and if so, unlock packages before the installation and lock again afterwards.
