Description of problem: When satellite-sync encounters "403 Forbidden" 4 times when downloading packages, it stops downloading rest of them and reports "all done". Also satellite-sync then exits with 0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-backend-tools-2.0.3-22.el5sat How reproducible: sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make Hosted return 403 error for random packages you are syncing 2. Point satellite-sync to the hosted and watch the progress Actual results: When downloading channel with 557 packages, last package it attempts to download is 331. # satellite-sync -c rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5 --no-errata 19:06:27 Red Hat Satellite - live synchronization 19:06:27 url: https://satellite.rhn.redhat.com [...] 19:10:14 Downloading rpm packages 19:10:14 Fetching any missing RPMs: rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5 (557) 19:10:15 Total size: 1.88 GiB 19:11:09 ERROR: http error code :403; fault code: 0; Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools/satsync.py", line 1906, in run package_id, nvrea, self.sources) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools/satsync.py", line 1846, in _get_package_stream stream = rpmServer.getPackageStream(channel, nvrea) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools/xmlWireSource.py", line 438, in getPackageStream return self._rpc_call("getPackage", (channel, package_name)) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools/xmlWireSource.py", line 405, in _rpc_call ret = getattr(get_server_obj, function_name)(*params) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 683, in __call__ result = self._send(self._name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 390, in _request raise pe ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for content-satellite.rhn.redhat.com /SAT/$RHN/rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5/getPackage/auto-kickstart-ks-redhat-advanced-server-i386-qu5-1.11-4.noarch.rpm: 403 Forbidden> 19:11:10 Downloaded 3.56 MiB of 1.88 GiB.

We have re-reviewed this bug, as part of an ongoing effort to improve Satellite/Proxy feature and bug updates, review and backlog. This is a low priority bug and has no currently open customer cases. While this bug may still valid, we do not see it being implemented prior to the EOL of the Satellite 5.x product. As such, this is being CLOSED DEFERRED. Closing now to help set customer expectations as early as possible. You are welcome to re-open this bug if needed.
