Bug 2255949

This looks like Satellite isn't getting package profile uploads from the host. I would assume that in addition to Errata, the Packages tab is also blank.

Does installing katello-host-tools on the host fix it?

Failing that, is it possible to upgrade subscription-manager on the host?

Hello,

Package katello-host-tools is installed on the host but still there is no reporting.

I can see details in 'Packages' tab.
If clicked on tab 'Repository Sets' then it shows enabled repositories too but on 'Errata' tile it says 'Enable Repository Sets'
and 'Errata' tab is also empty.

If Satellite knew that katello-host-tools is installed, the error message should be "No installed packages and/or enabled repositories have been reported by katello-host-tools." Seems like we're having problems uploading the enabled repositories and/or installed package list.

What is the result of running 'katello-enabled-repos-upload --force' or 'katello-package-upload --force' ?

Is the issue only with a single host, or with all rhel6 hosts?

katello-enabled-repos-upload is not needed to get the package profile pushed to Satellite -- it is done by subscription-manager when a yum command (like install) is run. You'll see the issue go away if you `yum install` something.

Once I installed some package, all of the errata were correctly reported on my RHEL 6 client.

On top of that, I was able to enable the RHEL 6 repositories via the UI.

I was able to run `katello-enabled-repos-upload --force` once I did the following:


yum install python-setuptools


I suppose the fix here would be to make python-setuptools a requirement of katello-host-tools for EL6 only.

Patrick, what would it take to get python-setuptools added as a dependency for EL6 katello-host-tools? Is that reasonably possible?

Otherwise we can mark this as a documentation issue for EL6.

The technical aspect of updating, it shouldn't be difficult to add a requirement on that in the spec file.  Someone will need to update the katello-host-tools spec upstream so we can ingest it properly.
