Description Šimon Lukašík 2011-05-09 14:23:22 UTC

Description of problem:
yum clean all does not remove channel metadata created by yum-rhn-plugin.

Consequently, user not able to acquire fresh repodata from the Spacewalk
server by 'yum clean all && yum repolist' command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Spacewalk client 1.5 on RHEL6


How reproducible:
deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /var/cache/yum/x86_64
2. find ./ -name repomd.xml  | wc -l
   22
3. yum clean all
4. find ./ -name repomd.xml  | wc -l
   7


Actual results:
The repodata cache is not deleted.

Expected results:
The repodata cache is deleted. At least for channels, which are
associated to the system in a time of 'yum clean all'


Additional info:
In addition, It would be nice to remove all the metadata,
e.g. when a system gets unsubscribed from a channel, yum-rhn-plugin
should remove the metadata.

Note here, that yum-rhn-plugin has a potential to check for unsubscribed
channels, because he stores them in rhnpllugin.repos file.

Comment 1 Šimon Lukašík 2011-05-09 14:24:20 UTC

Affected packages:
yum-rhn-plugin-1.5.6-1.el6.noarch
yum-3.2.29-17.el6.noarch
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-16.el6.x86_64

Comment 3 Šimon Lukašík 2011-07-18 11:05:52 UTC

Taking.

Comment 4 Šimon Lukašík 2011-07-18 11:41:59 UTC

The problem is that yum-rhn-plugin during init_hook() searches
for a repomd.xml file in

  ${cache_dir}/channel/repodata/

path. While Yum stores that file in

  ${cache_dir}/channel/

path. As a result the init_hook() does not forward such channel to Yum,
when the 'yum clean all' command is run. This behavior was introduced
by fix for the bug 688870.

The correct path where the repomd.xml is stored by Yum is not accessible
from a plug-in. It's set in YumRepo.YumRepository._commonLoadRepoXML()

Comment 6 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2011-07-19 19:36:51 UTC

This bugzilla is currently MODIFIED, so we believe the fix is in the Spacewalk nightly yum repository at http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/nightly/

Therefore, moving ON_QA.

Comment 7 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2011-07-21 14:43:45 UTC

Spacewalk 1.5 was released.
