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.

Description Dylan Gross 2017-01-23 19:03:19 UTC 
1. Proposed title of this feature request  
      
  [RFE] Provide katello-agent RPMs via RHSCL so they don't conflict with other RPMs


  
      
    3. What is the nature and description of the request?  

   Some client systems having the katello-agent installed are using RPMs from 3rd-party repos like EPEL, which provide a different version of some RPMs.  (qpid-proton-c is one example encountered).
      
    4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

   Some of the same named RPMs from the EPEL repository can be present on servers before the katello-agent is installed.  This can lead to unresolveable dependency conflicts when the katello-agent is installed.
      
    5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  
      
   Ideally, the katello-agent can be installed without manipulating the other software on the client machine.   One suggestion that came up in dialogue was the possibility of using something like RHSCL to provide a differently-named version of the RPM so it would not conflict in the RPMDB, and maybe also to a different name in the filesystem.

    This was just one of the solutions that came up in discussion.  Other solutions may also be acceptable.

    6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.  
      
   Install EPEL RPM like qpid-proton-c of a different version than provided by the Red Hat Satellite tools repo.   Then install the katello-agent.

    7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  

   I don't believe so.
      
    8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  

   No.
      
    9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?  
      
    10. List any affected packages or components.  

    katello-agent, qpid-proton-c, others?
      
    11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?  

    Yes
