RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 Cameron Moore 2015-03-20 03:55:09 UTC
Description of problem:

Within the last 24 hours or so, `yum check-update` (and yum-cron) started reporting broken update notices.


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

yum-3.4.3-125.el7.noarch


How reproducible:

Every time I run `yum check-update` or yum-cron runs, which sends me an annoying email every hour.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum check-update


Actual results:

sh# yum check-update
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb
Update notice RHSA-2014:0679 (from rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.
You should report this problem to the owner of the rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases repository.

Update notice RHBA-2015:0596 (from rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.
Update notice RHBA-2015:0578 (from rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.


Expected results:

I expect no broken update notices.


Additional info:

I'm running RHEL 7 on AWS EC2.  The problem began with a mostly up-to-date RHEL 7.0 server.  I upgraded to RHEL 7.1 an hour ago, and the problem persists.

Comment 3 Vilius Šumskas 2015-03-20 15:08:31 UTC
Same here.

Comment 4 Trond H. Amundsen 2015-03-20 19:50:49 UTC
Same here. Seems to be a conflict of sorts with the optional repo. If I disable either the main repo or the optional repo, the problem goes away:

Comment 6 Paul Sand 2015-03-24 17:01:32 UTC
Problem appears to have been fixed, at least for me. After "yum clean all", "yum check-update" gives a clean list of available updates.

Comment 7 Vilius Šumskas 2015-03-25 07:42:29 UTC
Fixed for me too.

Comment 8 Cameron Moore 2015-03-25 14:26:36 UTC
This problem has been resolved for me.

Comment 9 Vilius Šumskas 2015-04-15 01:59:14 UTC
The problem appeared this afternoon again.

Comment 10 Valentina Mukhamedzhanova 2015-04-27 11:15:23 UTC

Comment 11 Valentina Mukhamedzhanova 2015-04-27 11:16:53 UTC
This does look like a hiccup on releng side. Changing component to investigate.

Comment 13 Vilius Šumskas 2015-10-02 12:14:33 UTC
Will this ever get's fixed? It is happening again for the past 24 hours.

Comment 15 Cameron Moore 2015-10-05 17:49:14 UTC
I've been seeing the same errors again for the last two days.

Comment 56 Frank K 2016-02-05 03:01:14 UTC

Could this be subscription related? Got worse after changing poolid.

Thx!

Comment 57 Frank K 2016-02-06 19:18:28 UTC
Disregard above it was due to subscription management issue that was resolved.

# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
# subscription-manager clean 

# yum clean all

Then resubscribe and then run `yum update`  again...

Comment 60 Kyle Decot 2016-03-08 10:18:05 UTC
Tried steps listed by Frank K but to no avail. Still broken.

Comment 63 Joerg K 2016-04-14 12:50:47 UTC
I tried the steps from Frank K (comment 56), too. But it's still broken. I'm running rhel 7.2 with:
* yum-3.4.3-132.el7.noarch
* yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-10.el7.x86_64
* yum-rhn-plugin-2.0.1-5.el7.noarch

Comment 66 Pavel Malyshev 2016-05-10 11:13:27 UTC
The problem is still there.
rhel-7-server-rt-rpms and rhel-server-rhscl-7-source-rpms repos.

Comment 67 Vilius Šumskas 2016-05-25 10:51:19 UTC
So more than a year later this is still not fixed. My mailbox was bombarded with thousands of thse update warning again today.

I guess RedHat is not so "Tried. Tested. Trusted." anymore.

Comment 70 Mark Walker 2016-05-27 19:39:07 UTC
We just started encountering this bug this week: 2016-05-25.

Red Hat Support asked we have patience while waiting on a fix from Engineering.

This sporadically recurring bug seems completely unacceptable to me.

We're running RHEL 7.2 on a Dell built system.
# rpm -qa | grep yum
yum-langpacks-0.4.2-4.el7.noarch
PackageKit-yum-1.0.7-5.el7.x86_64

We see just the one complaint:

You should report this problem to the owner of the rhel-7-server-rpms repository.

Comment 72 Karl Mikaelsson 2016-05-30 09:21:08 UTC
We started seeing these errors again on 2016-05-24. I can confirm what trond stated in comment #4 - disabling one of rhel-7-server-rpms and rhel-7-server-optional-rpms makes the error message go away.

Comment 73 Danilo Godec 2016-05-31 06:53:37 UTC
I'd like to confirm the exact same behaviour as described in comment #72.

I tried to resolve the problem following https://access.redhat.com/solutions/696833 - but it did not help.

Comment 76 Mark Walker 2016-06-09 14:56:25 UTC
I confirm that disabling rhel-7-server-optional-rpms eliminates the error for us. Problem is, we have items from the optional software to keep up to date.

Comment 77 Cheng 2016-06-11 08:47:02 UTC
Same here when doing 'yum update'

'yum clean all' not work.

Comment 81 Mike Kelly 2016-07-08 13:40:16 UTC
What info is required to resolve this "NEEDINFO" state?

Are there specific log files, files from /var/cache/yum, configuration files, etc that I can provide to help resolve this issue?

It's occurring just about every month now, and getting hourly complaints from my servers about this is starting to get irksome...

Comment 82 Dennis Gregorovic 2016-07-08 19:29:06 UTC
Hi everyone.  This should be resolved again.  I have forced an update of the rhel-7-server-optional-rpms repo so the metadata is back in sync with the rhel-7-server-rpms.

The permanent fix is slated to go out later this month.  In the meantime, if anyone does hit this again first try a yum clean all.  If that doesn't resolve it, run yum repolist and attach the list of repos.

Comment 83 Jim Minter 2016-07-11 11:16:37 UTC
@Dennis, I guess rhel-7-server-rhev-mgmt-agent-rpms (still) needs doing as well?

I'm seeing the problem on the workstation side, and the various prior error clearing tricks don't work.

I'm seeing this still also. Just updated the Satellite (5.6) schema, rebuilt index, and purged and re-downloaded the server's package cache. Problem persists:

I no longer see this issue on my server.  Thanks!

It is working for me now as well.
I ran 'yum check-update' and saw no more error messages. Wasn't sure if there was lingering confusion so I ran a 'yum clean all' anyway. Still works - until next time.

We've tried the suggestions made in earlier posts on this bz, but they are not resolving the issue.

Comment 123 Michael Bauer 2017-07-27 18:04:08 UTC
As of about 2 AM today, the following Red Hat repositories are producing the errors described here, on our RHEL 7 machines:

rhel-7-workstation-optional-rpms
rhel-7-workstation-rpms
rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
rhel-7-server-rpms

This happens only from the hourly cron job.  Running '/etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron' by hand triggers the errors.  A plain 'yum update' by hand on any of the affected machines does not produce the errors.

A run of 'yum clean all' on all of our RHEL 7 machines did not clear the errors.  I would much prefer not having to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the repositories on all our systems.  Is there any way for Red Hat to fix this on their end?

Comment 124 Michael Bauer 2017-07-28 16:31:32 UTC
After over 24 hours of hourly spam from our RHEL 7 systems, i tried unusbscribing and resubscribing on one of the affected machines, with just as much luck as I had last time (see Comment 84).

Why does this keep happening?

Also, there is a NeedInfo flag set.  What information is needed?  The NeedInfo flag got added with no commentary.

This problem has returned on our 7.3 server

Here is the requested repolist:

I've updated to the version of yum that I thought was supposed to fix this:
https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2017:2295

# yum list installed | grep yum
yum.noarch                       3.4.3-154.el7           @rhel-7-server-rpms

yum-rhn-plugin.noarch            2.0.1-9.el7             @rhel-7-server-rpms

I'm not using yum-cron.

have tried yum clean all, and removing/recreating the yum cache folders.

kernel is:
3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 30 05:26:04 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Example of error when doing a yum check-update:
...

You should report this problem to the owner of the rhel-7-server-rpms repository.
If you are the owner, consider re-running the same command with --verbose to see the exact data that caused the conflict.

I don't know if I need to hold off updating until this is fixed. Is it safe to do a yum update in this state?

Have the same issue on RHEL7.4 with rhel-7-server-rhv-4-mgmt-agent-rpms repo.

Comment 129 Frank Toth 2017-08-31 06:37:46 UTC
Workaround on Satellite 6.2.11:

It looks like I had the problem because of incremental updates on contentviews.
Once I've synced all repositories, published new version of each contentview and composite contentview the update/errata install works again.

Comment 131 Lubos Kocman 2017-09-06 15:40:36 UTC
Hello Jan,

this is a complex issue which was caused most likely by errata tool. The only way how to fix this.

Is to stage fixed updateinfo records (create dump of xmls) fix the issue in files itself and push it to pulp/cdn and rhn again.

I'm not sure whether we can easily remove records which can't be updated.

Comment 135 Erik Kennedy 2018-04-03 20:35:12 UTC
FYI seeing this on several RHEL 7.4 VMs running in Azure, basically the same symptoms as everyone else.

Comment 136 Ján Rusnačko 2018-04-09 08:49:59 UTC
Seeing this on RHEL-7 server currently:

Update notice RHBA-2017:2939 (from rhel-7-server-tus-rpms) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.
You should report this problem to the owner of the rhel-7-server-tus-rpms repository.
If you are the owner, consider re-running the same command with --verbose to see the exact data that caused the conflict.

Is there any update on progress here, please ?

Comment 138 Brendan Shephard 2018-06-27 01:46:41 UTC
We have just hit this issues as well. Did anyone have any success by deleting and resyncing the repo from Satellite 5.8? Our Satellite 6 environment seems to be fine now after doing this: 

Navigate to Satellite WebUI -> Administer -> Settings -> Katello and set 'force post sync actions' to 'true'. After that navigate to Content -> Sync Status and synchronize the repositories available to client machine and ensure the same repositories are successfully synchronized.

Comment 141 Lubos Kocman 2018-07-09 15:50:33 UTC
Hello,

the fact that we extend the bug with new issues made it little bit more difficult to navigate through.

I'll spend some time tomorrow on analysis of remaining issues. We'll try to get them fixed.

Comment 142 Lubos Kocman 2018-07-10 15:04:24 UTC
Hello 

I did re-push all of referenced advisories referenced in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1203963#c139 in order to update push count and release date. These seemed to be problems in the past.

If the re-push doesn't work, then I'll get in touch with ERRATA and DELIVERY teams since it would mean that either

* errata tool generates incorrect update-info
* pulp can't properly propagate data from json to repodata.


I'd like to ask you to re-test sync tomorrow (July 11th 2018) to see if issue from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1203963#c139 was resolved. Any new issues found after these would be then reported as a new request.

Thanks for understanding

Hey mate,

We're a customer that was experiencing this problem. We had an issue with taskomatic that was also resolved over the last two days as well. So I'm not sure if it was that change or your fine work. But this doesn't appear to be an issue for us any more. Our customers are able to get updates from RHEL7 repos again now from Satellite 5.8 infrastructure.

Comment 148 Lubos Kocman 2018-09-13 07:34:21 UTC
Helo

Seems like fix Failed QE verification then. I'm moving this back to assigned. I'll talk to engineering team responsible for updateinfo generation. 

Thank you for understanding

This is occurring again...

Is there any workaround to at least squelch these messages from yum-cron?

It looks like these are just being written to stdout/stderr by the underlying yum commands that invokes, so just disabling the yum-cron email doesn't seem to be sufficient; it still generates emails to the root account (which, in our environment, gets forwarded to a central mailbox).

Can confirm it's happening again. At least since 2am CET.

Comment 163 Kenyon Ralph 2019-03-25 18:24:40 UTC
Now this is happening because of trailing newline diffs between rhel-7-server-rpms and rhel-7-server-optional-rpms:

Comment 164 Kyle Walker 2019-03-26 13:39:19 UTC
Good morning all,

I can confirm that this message has started occurring again. In this instance, this is due to an ongoing effort to regenerated/republish repository metadata after a Pulp update. Unfortunately, this is resulting in errata that are split across release channels temporarily mismatching.

From the example above dated 2019-03-25 18:24:40 UTC, the RHSA-2016:0071 errata is within the rhel-7-server-rpms and rhel-7-server-optiona-rpms channels. If we look at the end of the summary section, the rhel-7-server-rpms channel is generated with the new Pulp revision, and the rhel-7-server-optional-rpms channel has not yet been regenerated/republished yet. The difference is discernible as the end of the content string has an additional "\n" newline in the newer version, and the old version has stripped that newline off.

The full regeneration/republish effort is underway. We do apologize for the inconvenience during this process. I will update this Bug report further when the effort has completed.

Comment 177 Dennis Kliban 2019-09-26 13:11:39 UTC
It seems like the problem occurs when Red Hat issues a single Erratum that is included in multiple repositories. e.g. rhel and rhel-optional. The following workflow seems to cause a problem for the user:

1. Sync rhel
2. Sync rhel-optional
3. Red Hat updates the Erratum
4. Sync rhel, but not rhel-optional
5. Run yum check-update on a client that is using both repos

Because the same Erratum in rhel and rhel-optional are not actually the same anymore, the client is confused. I don't think Pulp is able to fix this problem. The user has to be aware that certain repos should be synced together and not just by themselves. RHUI could probably be configured to do that. Satellite users need docs.

Hi,
for support guided me to this ticket because of Case #02479331 . at least for my issue this is not a synchronization issue but support does not seem to get that: there is an actual problem in the rhel repositories presented by cdn:

In current cdn presented files the erratum for RHBA-2018:2796 are different in rhel-7-server-extras-rpms and in rhel-7-server-extras-debug-rpms - that should not be case (or at least yum does not expect them to differ)

Dennis,

It doesn't look like this issue has occurred due to misuse of Satellite or RHUI when syncing repos. Looking back at the history I'm seeing it as having occurred when a given erratum's metadata differs between repositories on the CDN itself either due to race conditions or minor differences introduced by content publication tools. When it's due to race conditions the issue should resolve itself. When tools have introduced subtle differences in the errata metadata between repos we've had to republish errata to get the repo metadata back in sync. Often when customers are performing "yum clean all" and clearing their local caches they are still seeing this issue on update. That seems to indicate their issue is on the CDN itself. In these cases the work around is to disable one of the differing repositories (e.g. disable the debug or optional repo), but the real fix is for Red Hat to republish the content to get the repos back in sync.

It's worth noting that this is not a single bug that has remained unfixed for years. It is a series of issues that put out similar error messages and therefore lead customers and support engineers back to this bugzilla. Comment 178 shows a current example of these CDN differences that may require the erratum to be republished.

I'm seeing this happening again today:

    Update notice RHSA-2017:2423 (from rhel-7-server-rpms) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.
    You should report this problem to the owner of the rhel-7-server-rpms repository.

Comment 197 Kyle Walker 2020-01-06 18:35:41 UTC
Good morning,

I apologize for the inconvenience. It is correct that there is another instance of the above error being reported. Specifically due to a mismatch between the rhel-7-server-rpms and rhel-7-server-optional-rpms channels in regards the RHSA-2017:2423 update. I am following up internally with the applicable teams to address that notice.

Comment 198 Peter Portante 2020-01-06 18:53:49 UTC
I am also seeing something similar, started at 9:13 AM EST (14:13 UTC):

...this is the bug that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend.  Some people tried reporting it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue seeing it forever just because...


As of 6 AM EST on 12 March, I have been seeing notices from various Red Hat repositories:

I cannot readily re-run the same command with --verbose because this is coming from the hourly cron job, /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron.

Is there some way to make sure that this never happens again?

I find it hard to believe I am the only one seeing these errors.  I also find it hard to believe that there's no way to test for these errors before deploying a broken repository.  Can we get this fixed in such a way that it never recurs?  Say, by smacking the offending person's knuckles with a ruler every time it happens?

Comment 216 Peter Portante 2020-06-04 18:01:39 UTC
> I find it hard to believe I am the only one seeing these errors.

If it is any consolation, you are not alone.  We are all in this together.  ;)

I run yum-cron on 28 systems, and see a flood of messages when this happens each time.

It is just tiring to repeatedly report this message each time.  Maybe customers don't use yum-cron?  Or perhaps they turn off these errors some how?  It seems like an issue we'd want to solve well for customers to help show value for RHEL.

Comment 217 Michael Bauer 2020-06-04 18:56:46 UTC
> It is just tiring to repeatedly report this message each time.

I've gotten to the point where I only bother to report after 24 hours.  The shorter runs, the ones that only last for a few hours -- across my 134 currently powered on systems -- I just delete and keep going.

I'm surprised there's no sysadmin, in a position to do something about it, at Red Hat who gets buried in these messages when they happen.

Comment 219 Chris Williams 2020-11-11 21:46:43 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 shipped it's final minor release on September 29th, 2020. 7.9 was the last minor releases scheduled for RHEL 7.
From intial triage it does not appear the remaining Bugzillas meet the inclusion criteria for Maintenance Phase 2 and will now be closed. 

From the RHEL life cycle page:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase
"During Maintenance Support 2 Phase for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7,Red Hat defined Critical and Important impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected (at Red Hat discretion) Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available."

If this BZ was closed in error and meets the above criteria please re-open it flag for 7.9.z, provide suitable business and technical justifications, and follow the process for Accelerated Fixes:
https://source.redhat.com/groups/public/pnt-cxno/pnt_customer_experience_and_operations_wiki/support_delivery_accelerated_fix_release_handbook  

Feature Requests can re-opened and moved to RHEL 8 if the desired functionality is not already present in the product. 

Please reach out to the applicable Product Experience Engineer[0] if you have any questions or concerns.

Comment 220 Michael Bauer 2021-02-10 18:09:32 UTC
This bug should not have been closed.  It is not an bug related to any specific minor version of Red Hat, as evidenced by it being a continuing problem from the opening of this case in RHEL 7.1, to the current error I'm seeing in RHEL 7.9.

The bug is related to Red Hat uploading broken repositories to the production servers.

Yesterday, I started seeing the usual drumbeat of "there's another broken repo!" emails:

Update notice RHSA-2018:1062 (from rhel-7-workstation-rpms) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.
You should report this problem to the owner of the rhel-7-workstation-rpms repository.

Update notice RHSA-2020:1016 (from rhel-7-workstation-rpms) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.

Those have continued through today.  Please fix it.  And then find the person who uploaded a broken repository and smack them across the knuckles with a yardstick.  And then find out why your own sysadmins aren't getting buried in messages like this, and fix that too.

Comment 221 Christian Horn 2021-02-15 01:14:47 UTC
If you need at this point in the rhel7 life cycle this issue fixed, can you please open a 
case with the Red Hat support?
rhel7 is not receiving many updates any more, fixes have to meet z-stream criteria.
Of course, the updating functionality/repository handling is very important.  If this is
imposing serious problems, opening a case will be the right way to voice that.
It will lead to for example workarounds being considered for you - or code changes if
the issue is serious enough to warrant that (and fitting z-stream criteria).

If the issue exists in rhel8, then it should be reopened for "product: rhel8".
Simply reopening this one here for rhel7 would not lead to anything, I think.
