Bug 972146

forgot to mention, the org name change to cause the bug is in spacewalk, not katello. Also, if the "root org" changes as the result of a new cert being imported, then syncs cannot be performed until the user runs katello-configure --reset-data=YES, since the root org's name can't be altered in the UI.

fixed in c99c8b01e0f775356dde90a406d790479f580ef2, spacewalk-splice-tool

it will show up in version 0.20+

After the fix SST is not blowing up, but the organization is not being renamed.

1) Initial data is spacewalk:
# spacewalk-report users
organization_id,organization,user_id,username,last_name,first_name,position,email,role,creation_time,last_login_time,active
1,Spacewalk Default Organization,1,admin,Admin,Admin,,root@localhost,Organization Administrator;Satellite Administrator,2013-06-18 07:11:46,,enabled
2,Org1,2,adminorg1,Adminorg1,Adminorg1,,adminorg1@localhost,Organization Administrator,2013-06-18 07:19:08,,enabled


2) running sst:
# spacewalk-splice-checkin 
2013-06-18 07:27:30,446 INFO splice.common.connect connect:_request: Sending 'POST' to '/splice/api//v1/spliceserver/' 
	with headers '{'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json'}'
2013-06-18 07:27:31,013 INFO splice.common.connect connect:_request: Received '204' from 'POST /splice/api//v1/spliceserver/'

2013-06-18 07:27:31,104 INFO splice.common.connect connect:_request: Received '204' from 'POST /splice/api//v1/marketingproductusage/'
Upload was successful

3) Now I can see these orgs in Katello:
[{u'apply_info_task_id': None,
  u'created_at': u'2013-06-18T11:27:20Z',
  u'default_info': {u'distributor': [], u'system': []},
  u'deletion_task_id': None,
  u'description': u'no description',
  u'id': 3,
  u'label': u'satellite-2',
  u'name': u'Org1',
  u'service_level': None,
  u'service_levels': [],
  u'updated_at': u'2013-06-18T11:27:20Z'},
 {u'apply_info_task_id': None,
  u'created_at': u'2013-06-18T11:27:18Z',
  u'default_info': {u'distributor': [], u'system': []},
  u'deletion_task_id': None,
  u'description': u'no description',
  u'id': 2,
  u'label': u'satellite-1',
  u'name': u'Spacewalk Default Organization',
  u'service_level': None,
  u'service_levels': [],
  u'updated_at': u'2013-06-18T11:27:18Z'},
 {u'apply_info_task_id': None,
  u'created_at': u'2013-06-18T11:23:25Z',
  u'default_info': {u'distributor': [], u'system': []},
  u'deletion_task_id': None,
  u'description': u'ACME_Corporation Organization',
  u'id': 1,
  u'label': u'ACME_Corporation',
  u'name': u'ACME_Corporation',
  u'service_level': None,
  u'service_levels': [],
  u'updated_at': u'2013-06-18T11:23:25Z'}]

4) renaming org in spacewalk (Org1 -> Org1_renamed):
# spacewalk-report users
organization_id,organization,user_id,username,last_name,first_name,position,email,role,creation_time,last_login_time,active
1,Spacewalk Default Organization,1,admin,Admin,Admin,,root@localhost,Organization Administrator;Satellite Administrator,2013-06-18 07:11:46,,enabled
2,Org1_renamed,2,adminorg1,Adminorg1,Adminorg1,,adminorg1@localhost,Organization Administrator,2013-06-18 07:19:08,,enabled

5) running SST again
# spacewalk-splice-checkin 
2013-06-18 07:28:43,018 INFO splice.common.connect connect:_request: Sending 'POST' to '/splice/api//v1/spliceserver/' 
	with headers '{'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json'}'
2013-06-18 07:28:43,112 INFO splice.common.connect connect:_request: Received '204' from 'POST /splice/api//v1/spliceserver/'
2013-06-18 07:28:43,113 INFO splice.common.connect connect:_request: Sending 'POST' to '/splice/api//v1/marketingproductusage/'

2013-06-18 07:28:43,200 INFO splice.common.connect connect:_request: Received '204' from 'POST /splice/api//v1/marketingproductusage/'
Upload was successful

6) Checking Katello:
[{u'apply_info_task_id': None,
  u'created_at': u'2013-06-18T11:27:20Z',
  u'default_info': {u'distributor': [], u'system': []},
  u'deletion_task_id': None,
  u'description': u'no description',
  u'id': 3,
  u'label': u'satellite-2',
  u'name': u'Org1',
  u'service_level': None,
  u'service_levels': [],
  u'updated_at': u'2013-06-18T11:27:20Z'},
 {u'apply_info_task_id': None,
  u'created_at': u'2013-06-18T11:27:18Z',
  u'default_info': {u'distributor': [], u'system': []},
  u'deletion_task_id': None,
  u'description': u'no description',
  u'id': 2,
  u'label': u'satellite-1',
  u'name': u'Spacewalk Default Organization',
  u'service_level': None,
  u'service_levels': [],
  u'updated_at': u'2013-06-18T11:27:18Z'},
 {u'apply_info_task_id': None,
  u'created_at': u'2013-06-18T11:23:25Z',
  u'default_info': {u'distributor': [], u'system': []},
  u'deletion_task_id': None,
  u'description': u'ACME_Corporation Organization',
  u'id': 1,
  u'label': u'ACME_Corporation',
  u'name': u'ACME_Corporation',
  u'service_level': None,
  u'service_levels': [],
  u'updated_at': u'2013-06-18T11:23:25Z'}]

So Org1 was not renamed to Org1_renamed as expected.

Actually now we're seeing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972942 so I can set this one to 'VERIFIED'
