Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Justin Sherrill 2014-08-21 19:03:51 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently users can easily get themselves into a situation where their pulp repository is unusable.  If they are syncing a repository that replaces an old package with a new one with the same NVREA pulp will gladly sync the 2nd after syncing the first.

As a result pulp publishes yum metadata with two packages listed but since they only have the same filename, only one package actually makes it to the file system. Then a yum client comes along and tries to install/update that package it will pick on of the entries from the yum meatadata to use and there's a 50/50 chance of it being the wrong metadata and so checksum verification will fail.

I would expect that pulp should not generate metadata like this in the case that there are packages with the same nvrea in the repo.  Alternatively the 2nd package should fail to sync/import into the repo.

This is a common problem and has occurred across many different upstream repos.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.0-1


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create two rpms with the same nvrea
2.  Upload them or sync them to a single repo
3.  Publish the repo
4.  Attempt to install that rpm from the repo

Actual results:
Client will throw an error as the checksum will not match

Expected results:
Only one package is in the primary.xml file and it matches whats actually on the file system.
