Description Brenden Wood 2020-05-04 08:27:57 UTC

Description of problem:

"puppet-agent" is available in the rhel-7-server-satellite-tools-6.7-rpms repo and contains everything needed to register host to Satellite 6.7 manually but the regular "puppet" package is not present in the repo (seems it was moved to rh-common repo).

When using the bootstrap.py script to register hosts to Satellite 6.7 it will try to yum install puppet and fail because the package does not exist in any repos ( assuming you only have Base + Satellite-Tools-6.7 ).

Comment 3 Evgeni Golov 2020-05-07 14:06:10 UTC

brenden, the puppet-agent package in sat-tools has a "provides: puppet", so it should actually work.

Comment 4 Brenden Wood 2020-05-08 00:00:29 UTC

Evgeni, you're right that the puppet-agent package provides puppet but it seems that bootstrap.py explicitly tries to run "yum install puppet" and fails. Shouldn't the bootstrap.py script instead be running "yum install puppet-agent" at that step?

I was on a customer site and could not get logs or example output but I will see if I can reproduce this on another Satellite 6.7 to confirm

Yeah, it *should*. And that's also what I've implemented in the PR (https://github.com/Katello/katello-client-bootstrap/pull/328) as nothing uses the old "puppet" name anymore.
However, yum should just fine resolve that provides and install the "puppet-agent" RPM when it is asked to install "puppet"

That'd be cool. We'll fix/cleanup the code either way, but would be good to know how quickly we need to push the fix out.
