Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 130886
Profile sync fails via proxy
Last modified: 2007-07-31 10:32:51 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040303 Description of problem: Tried to do a profile sync on a system connected to the satellite via an RHN proxy. The sync required many packages to be downgraded. This failed with a 'package not found' error on the first packages that needed downgrading, presumably because it did not exist on the proxy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite 3.4, proxy 3.2 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure a profile sync for a server connected via a proxy. 2. Run rhn_check on the server. 3. Actual Results: Failure - unfortunately do not have log results, but the packages were not available on the proxy - there was a message saying 'Mapping does not exist' or similar. Expected Results: profile sync should have worked. Additional info: Workaround: temporarily point the server directly at the satellite rather than at the proxy (/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date)
Can someone pick this up? British Airways are waiting on this.
Todd, can you please have a look?
Needs to be an issue tracker. Sorry I this did not crop up on my radar sooner.
verified, steps: created proxy 3.2 on rhel2.1 used sat on farm03 kickstarted another machine to rhel3u4, registered to proxy did a package sync profile through web ui rhn_check -vvv gave a file not found worked when re-registered through the satellite and synced to the same profile
Created attachment 105561 [details] rhn_check -vvv run when registered against a proxy
Created attachment 105562 [details] rhn_check -vvv run when registered against a satellite (worked)
Created attachment 105564 [details] what actions were performed, same for proxy and sat
upon further investigation, i found that in both cases the profile sync fails, if the machine is connected directly to a satellite the error message is only displayed on the satellite's webui and not during rhn_check
What precisely is failing though?
Attempting change to NEEDINFO_QA
The status NEEDINFO_QA has been deprecated in favor of NEEDINFO. Moving bugs to NEEDINFO.
