Fixing wrong product - if we're reading this correctly it should be a Satellite 5 BZ not Satellite 6 same as above referenced bug.

Xixi,

Thank you for correcting, wasn't sure which should be since subscription-manager that needs dependency is needed for CDN & sat 6 registration.


Anyone have idea on feasibility of getting these dependencies added to the repositories?

The python-rhsm package has a Requires on python-dateutil.  I'm very confused as to how python-rhsm is getting installed.  RPM and/or Yum should refuse to install it due to the missing dependency.

Can you post the version of python-rhsm that's being installed?  Also an `rpm -q --requires python-rhsm` would be illuminating.

This is during anaconda install with the rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5 & RHEL 5.8 repository enabled.  Anaconda does note this dependency issue, but moves forward on its own:


$ grep -e subscription-manager -e python-rhsm -e python-dateutil var/log/anaconda.log | head -n 6

Can see that rhel5.8 didn't have subscription-manager
$ curl -s http://172.31.0.1/repos/rhel5.8 | grep -c subscription-manager

But it is in rhn-tools...

After the install, can see that subscription-manager is installed, but NOT its dependencies because they aren't in 5.8 or rhn-tools repository...

Any more data needed regarding this issue?
Is there a plan on how to correct this issue?

FAILED_QA. (python-rhsm-1.13.2.1-1.el5)

Though sat5to6 tool remains functinal, the fix haven't solved the issue
Used following reproducer:

1. Create ks profile using rhel5.9 ks tree and associate rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5 channel with it
2. Provision a machine using created ks profile
3. At provisioned machine run couple of commands:

>>> python-dateutil is still required by yet another package: subscription-manager-1.11.3-11.el5

There is also subscription-manager-1.11.3-11.el5 being installed that still requires python-dateutil.
Further removing python-dateutil dependency from subcription-manager rpm wouldn't help, as dateutil is actually stilll imported by subscription-manager code.

IMHO, contrary to removing rpm dependencies, the solution is to satisfy dependency by including python-dateutil into rhn-tools channel.

Lukas,

The code is meant to try to use dateutil and fall back to PyXML for older versions, so this issue should be solvable by installing 'PyXML'.  Would you mind trying that and seeing if it fixes things?  If so, I'll put a Requires in the spec file for 'PyXML'.  It looks like that Requires got removed in newer versions of subscription-manager meant for new versions of RHEL.

Alex,
yes it fixes things. If I install PyXML then subscription-manager starts to work.

In order to ensure that rhsmd & susbscription-manager will work after a fresh install, you will need to modify related kickstarts to include PyXML to packages that are installed during kickstart (tab Software - subtab Package Groups):

@Base
PyXML

The other possibility is to add rpm dependency for PyXML. WYT?

Yes, I was going to add it as a requires.  I will get that change in shortly.

PyXML added as Requires in subscription-manager-1.11.3-12.el5

VERIFIED.
