Description Alexandros Soumplis 2009-04-13 09:00:19 UTC

Description of problem:
Spacewalk fails to handle packages which include the plus (+) sign in their names.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.5

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Push the package libstdc++-4.1.2-44 (it happens with any package with the + sign in its name) into spacewalk
[root@andromeda CentOS]# rhnpush -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv --force --channel=centos-5-base --server=https://andromeda.local.domain/APP  --username=xxxx --password='xxxx' libstdc++-4.1.2-44.el5.x86_64.rpm
Connecting to https://andromeda.local.domain/APP
url is https://andromeda.local.domain/PACKAGE-PUSH
Result codes: 200 OK
Computing md5sum and package Info .This may take sometime ...
Uploading package libstdc++-4.1.2-44.el5.x86_64.rpm
Using POST request


2. Login into spacewalk webui
3. Search for the package and try to download it (you can also try to install it to a client, its the same as this is not a problem of the web ui).
4. Error 404 occurs and package not found. 
  
Actual results:
The package fails to be found and downloaded from spacewalk although it exists in the repository.

I can confirm this when trying to upgrade my Centos server

[root@mrp-test3 packages]# yum update

Any package that has a "+" in the name is not found.

Is there any temporary resolution around this as I have over 10 servers I need to update using spacewalk.

Comment 2 Devan Goodwin 2009-07-23 13:15:42 UTC

I believe this has been fixed some time ago. Just verified that libstdc++ packages are imported, visible in the web UI, and can be yum installed on a registered client system.

Moving to verified.
