Bug 971758

Was the system working properly at the end? The message in the log doesn't have to mean much, if only that it says is that the user is already created.

Also, katello-debug output would be a big plus.

btw: I also see the same log piece there in my install.
but despite of this my system is functional.

thanks Garik for sharing the logs.

Ivan, So far system is behaving properly.

This is not truly a bug. I'll try to explain why every user sees this. 

When we seed the database at installation or development environment setup, we create a number of entities. In this case, we are creating an initial user in the Katello database named 'admin'. By default, when Pulp is installed, Pulp creates and establishes an admin user with the username 'admin'. When Katello goes to create it's initial admin user, this triggers an attempt to create a user named 'admin' in the Pulp database. Since an admin user already exists, a 409 conflict is thrown. Katello logs all non-successful calls to Pulp in the production log (unless the user tweaks the logging settings) and thus you see this issue. 

If you named the initial user something other than admin, you should not see this message. To prevent this single message from appearing, we'd have to add some custom logic to just to account for this particular scenario.

Thanks Eric for the description.

Actually I confirm: functionality is not getting broken with this "error".

For avoiding confusion I would recommend to make ERROR -> WARNING maybe?

Anycase: it is definitely not a 6.0.1 issue :) fixing to 6.0.2. thanks.

Currently, we log all exceptions at the layer that handles the Pulp API calls. Extracting out this single situation to log as a warning instead of an error would be difficult with our current setup. While conflicts in Pulp are not necessarily indicative of an error, they are good forensic evidence in the event of a bigger issue being logged by Katello. Closing in light of the above.
