Description of problem: changes to packages on client machines are communicated to satellite via the xmlrpc call "delta_packages" The data supplied with the call is in two lists "added" and "removed" Unfortunately satellite checks for the lists "added" and "deleted" so it never sees when packages are removed leaving zombie entries in the WebGUI (and DB). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum remove yum-updatesd 2. 3. Actual results: package is not removed from installed list on satellite. Expected results: package should be removed from list. Additional info: on the clients in /usr/lib/yum-plugins/rhnplugin.py in the make_package_delta function it initialises as follows. delta = {} delta["added"] = [] delta["removed"] = [] on the server in /usr/share/rhn/server/handlers/xmlrpc/registration.py in the delta_packages handler it retrieves added_packages = packages.get('added') removed_packages = packages.get('deleted')
