Description Ondrej Gajdusek 2020-10-07 13:34:25 UTC

Description of problem:
None of the base Satelite/Capsule packages strictly requires ansible-2.9. Documentation tells customer to enable rhel-7-server-ansible-2.9-rpms repository 
thus I assume that this is a strict requirement. If customers do not enable this repository, they will end up with ansible-2.4.2.0-2.el7.noarch.rpm installed from the Satellite Maintenance repository not with ansible-2.9.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite-6.8.0-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm -q --whatrequires ansible | grep el7sat | xargs rpm -qR | sort -u | grep ansible

Actual results:
No package requires ansible-2.9 to be installed.


Expected results:
There should be some package that would force installing ansible-2.9.

Comment 2 Ondrej Gajdusek 2020-10-07 14:20:48 UTC

The reproducer is not quite accurate.

The package that should set the requirement for the ansible package is: tfm-rubygem-smart_proxy_ansible.

$ rpm -qR tfm-rubygem-smart_proxy_ansible | grep ^ansible

Actual: ansible >= 2.2
Expected: ansible >= 2.9

Comment 3 Evgeni Golov 2020-10-19 14:43:48 UTC

Notes from the triage session:
* the 2.9 requirement is Red Hat support/QE only (we only support that version of ansible in 6.8, the underlying code is probably working with other versions fine)
* >= 2.9 would include 2.10, which we don't support either
* proposal to add a "Requires: ansible >= 2.9, Requires: ansible < 2.10" to the satellite and satellite-capsule RPMs Red Hat ships.

Comment 4 Evgeni Golov 2020-10-19 14:44:18 UTC

Or maybe not capsule, as we don't enable ansible on capsules by default?

our docs say to enable ansible repo on capsule too, so I went and added the dependency to satellite-common

Comment 6 Brad Buckingham 2021-01-08 20:13:39 UTC

Satellite 6.9 SNAP 8 currently has satellite-6.9.0-0.3.beta.el7sat.noarch.  Based upon the 'fixed in version', aligning to 6.9 and updating status.

Comment 7 Ondrej Gajdusek 2021-02-18 09:05:48 UTC

Verified.
Package satellite-common now requires ansible being installed. This has an effect on Satellite as well as Satellite capsules.

$ rpm -qR satellite-common
ansible < 2.10
ansible >= 2.9
