Description Greg Nichols 2015-03-25 11:39:08 UTC
Description of problem:

While running redhat-certification-cloud-3.0-2.el6.noarch on el6 with redhat-certification-1.0-20150324.1.el6, I get the following traceback while saving attachments. 

$ sudo rhcert-backend run

Comment 1 Greg Nichols 2015-03-25 11:43:50 UTC
I assume this does not happen on RHEL7 hosts?

Could you attach the xml attachments the test produces?   The should still be in /var/log/rhcert/run.../<test name> etc. after the test runs.

No it doesn't.

I have isolated the issue to be a python bug [1], fixed in 2.7 but not backported to the python2.6 build that Red Hat ships.

Comment 5 Brian Brock 2015-04-20 21:01:48 UTC
tested with 20150420

openscap doesn't traceback, but it dies very early and I can't yet tell whether it's reached the point when the traceback would occur.

# cat /var/log/rhcert/runs/1//cloud/openscap/output.log 
<output>
Running openscap checks ...  Error
</output>

# cat /var/log/rhcert/runs/1//cloud/openscap/ssg-errors.log 
OpenSCAP Error: Unable to open file: '/usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel6-xccdf.xml' [oscapxml.c:575]

closest match for filename that I see:

# ls -l /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel6-ds.xml 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3029625 Oct 21 10:56 /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel6-ds.xml

Comment 6 Brian Brock 2015-04-20 21:02:32 UTC
previous test was marked as a fail in the wui.

You need to yum install scap-security-guide and openscap-utils on the SUT. This is mentioned as part of Docs.

Comment 8 Brian Brock 2015-04-29 18:24:53 UTC
shouldn't this be rpm %require'd, if it's mandatory?
