Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Can you attach a foreman-debug that captures the output of the installer failure?  Thanks!
Comment 2 German Pulido 2016-09-07 19:45:20 UTC 
Hi

Sorry for the delay. It turns out, this happened because IPv6 was disabled on the server. It is already well documented: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1605013 however it is a bug (even if it's on an external component, wget) and IMHO it should be fixed.

Thanks!!
Comment 3 Stephen Benjamin 2016-10-13 15:23:02 UTC 
Hi, thanks for the bug report.  Not sure we can really do much about this in Satellite.  The underlying cause is IPv6 disabled *and* an IPv6 entry in /etc/hosts.

This is happening in either wget or whatever library it's using to resolve the localhost hostname.

wget or those libraries could be fixed, or users could fix their /etc/hosts.
