From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040304 Description of problem: I'm having trouble getting one system to sync to the rpms from another systsm Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. kickstart a system with RH Desktop 3 (bootstraping it to the sat) 2. rename the profile of this system to 'old_machine' 3. kickstart again, naming this one 'machine' 4. log on, rpm -e xsane-gimp, up2date -p 5. go to Sat webpage, compare the package list of 'machine' agains 'old_machine' 6. select 'xsane-gimp', trigger a sync to 'old_machine' Actual Results: error page telling me: 'Missing Packages ...' xsane-gimp-0.89-3 is listed, but in the table the column for the Channel is empty. Click on xsane-gimp-0.89-3 to verify that it is indeed in the channel 'rhel-i386-desktop-3' List the systems subscribed to this channel, both 'machine' and 'old_machine' are listed Expected Results: sheduling of xsane-gimp for roll out on 'machine' Additional info: As this job started Monday, we're still using 3.2.0-12 Also, the following packages were installed by hand because they are not yet available for RH Desktop 3: rhncfg-client-3.1.6-12.noarch.rpm rhncfg-3.1.6-12.noarch.rpm rhncfg-actions-3.1.6-12.noarch.rpm rhncfg-management-3.1.6-12.noarch.rpm Both systems are subscribed to the following channels: * Red Hat Desktop (v. 3 for x86) o Desktop 3 externe Multimedia Packete o Interne Packete fuer Desktop 3 o Red Hat Desktop (v. 3 for x86) Extras o Red Hat Developer Suite (for Desktop x86) Where 'Desktop 3 externe Multimedia Packete' contains mozilla-flash, mplayer and deps from an external source (but does not contain anything related to xsane or gimp from what I can see) And 'Interne Packete fuer Desktop 3' contains some internal packages, again no relation to xsane or gimp.
FWIW, when going through 'Systems', 'machine', 'Packages', 'Install New Packages', select xsane-gimp, confirm. Then run rhn_check on the machine, package is installed fine.
One more note, rolling back to a snapshot where xsane-gimp was still installed works just like expected, so at least we have a work around for those cases where something gets broken on the machine but it is mnot yet re-installed.
updated to the 3.2.0-23, no change.

RHN Sat 3.4?
taw: no, 3.2. The last time I had access to the Sat in question, we were at 3.2.0-23 and the problem persisted. Have you been able to reproduce this on 3.2 but not on 3.4? GSS: as you seem to also see the bug (IT #48060); do you see it on 3.4 as well? RU PCFE
No, the Sat in IT #48060 is still on 3.2, has there been made any attempts to fix this in 3.4 ?
I successfully updated the SAT to 3.4 today. But the described comparison-problem still exists... regards Klaus
upping priority to 'HIGH', but it might still get deferred, as time is short and the buglist is long... :-(
I haven't been able to reproduce this bug with the latest code. I will try reproducing it with version 3.4.0.
I can't reproduce this in 3.4.0, either. Can anyone get me more information - does this happen with any other packages or base channels? Do you get the same error syncing to a stored package profile?
- it happens with all packages (even in custom channels). - there is only 1 base channel, therefore no testing with different ones - when syncing to a stored package profile the error does not come up What informations do you need for further debugging ?
As the problem has been reported as fixed by the customer, closing. Thanks Robin for the help.
