Description John Hodrien 2009-05-21 17:14:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

Generated yum repodata incorrect, preventing sensible yum behaviour.

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

Tested against spacewalk 0.5.

How reproducible:

Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Push gcc-c++-4.1.2-44.el5 into the repo
2.  Pull down the primary.xml.gz
  
Actual results:

The provides for the package are incorrect, only specifying one of the two package provides.

Expected results:

Both package provides are present.

Additional info:

http://fpaste.org/paste/12541

This causes *major* pain as it means dependencies are generated incorrectly, preventing upgrades from happening as desired (such as between 5.2 and 5.3).

If you try a yum upgrade, you'll find it fails, as gcc-c++-4.1.2-44.el5 doesn't actually provide gcc-c++-4.1.2-44.el5, somewhat ruining the dependency checking.

Comment 2 Mike McCune 2009-05-21 17:19:35 UTC 
I reproduced this on rlx-0-04 which is spacewalk 0.5.

* Create empty test-channel
* wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/gcc-c++-4.1.2-44.el5.i386.rpm
* rhnpush -vvv --user=*** --password=**** --channel=test-channel --server=localhost gcc-c++-4.1.2-44.el5.i386.rpm  
* Extracted the metadata from /var/cache/rhn:

<location href="getPackage/gcc-c++-4.1.2-44.el5.i386.rpm"/>   
<rpm:provides>
  <rpm:entry name="gcc-c++" flags="EQ" epoch="0" ver="4.1.1" rel="52.el5"/>
</rpm:provides>


Note the missing 4.1.2-44

Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2009-09-10 12:06:10 UTC 
Spacewalk 0.6 released
Comment 5 Andy Speagle 2009-10-28 16:33:04 UTC 
I'm still seeing this bug on RHEL 5 clients connected to my v0.6 Spacewalk.  I have regenerated the repo cache to no avail.  What kind of debug information would be helpful?

The output seen in the original report above is essentially what I'm seeing.
