Bug 1882690

Created from redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/30694

Upstream bug assigned to jsherril

Note that this is similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1838917  but after applying that fix, things were still not working properly.

The behavior seen was slightly different, and only happened with an http proxy.  It may not be 100% reproducible.  

To reproduce:

1. Install satellite 6.8.
2. Add manifest file.
3- Configure a global content proxy
4- Expand a bunch of repos (rhel 6, rhel 7, etc...) the more resulting repos the better.  Make sure all expected releases show up

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/30694 has been resolved.

The fix for this bugzilla is in Satellite 6.9 (and earlier 6.8.z); therefore, aligning to release and updating state.

Tested on 6.9.0 snap 9.0. Importing a manifest isn't populating the available repositories. After import, if I expand any of the repositories shown under Content > Red Hat Repositories, I only see 'No repositories available.' for most of the repositories. The only exception is for Some of the RHEL 8 repositories, which show 'x86_64' as selectable, e.g.,

Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.8 for RHEL 8 x86_64 (RPMs)
satellite-tools-6.8-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms

Clicking on one of those gives me an inline error notification like this:

CDN loading error: access forbidden to https://cdn.redhat.com:443/content/dist/layered/rhel8/x86_64/sat-tools/6.8/os/repodata/repomd.xml

Once I refresh the manifest, all of the repositories appear and can be selected without error. I see the same behavior on 6.8.2 and 6.8.3 as well.

Hey Tasos, 

it sounds like your manifest was out of date and needed to be refreshed.  We've put some work into trying to make it clear if a manifest is not 'valid', but we may need to do more work there.  However i think that is out of the scope of this bz, as the problem this covers happened with a valid manifest, where by you would see some subset of repos.

And it is possible for a manifest to be partially expired/partially current, where by some repo sets can be listed and some cannot.

Ok, I'm looking into the manifests I've been using and I'll see if a newer one fixes the issue. Setting back to ON_QA.

Verified with a new manifest.
