Description of problem: The cdn mistakenly put '$basearch' into a listing file at: https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.2/listing And satellite does not handle that as it is trying to do variable substitution. It ends up just requesting https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.2/listing over and over and over forever. This is likely due to 1. Satellite taking the url https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.2/ and appending $basearch 2. Performing variable substitution on https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.2/$basearch, resulting in https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.2/ 3. Satellite fetching https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.2/listing again, and repeating at step 1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All versions of satellite How reproducible: Always (with a broken CDN) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a cdn mirror and add '$basearch' to one of the listing files 2. Try to list repos to enable on the redhat repos page that fetches that listing file Actual results: Request hangs and list just shows spinner Expected results: repos listed Additional info:
