Description of problem:
Currently errata installation via REX is using 'yum update --advisories'.
This command will update to newer packages than what was specified in the errata if newer ones are available.
For example, if a client has 'foo-1.0' installed and errata A has 'foo-2.0', but there also exists foo-3.0 in the repo, performing an errata install with REX will cause yum to pull in foo-3.0 even though foo-2.0 is in the Errata.
Yum provides an update-minimal command which provides this functionality.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.0 Beta
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using rex try to apply an errata to a client where there is a newer version of one of the packages in the errata available via the email
Actual results:
Newer package is installed that is not in the errata
Expected results:
Older version of package that is in the errata
Additional info:
Satellite 5 & 6 have used similar behavior to update-minimal for many years
in RHEL 7.0 and 7.1 there is a known bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192239
Which should be fixed in 7.2 Unsure if this complicates the matter.
