Description Eko 2017-03-30 09:35:51 UTC
Description of problem:
the official virt-who package is built today(2017-03-29): virt-who-0.19-2.el7
but the SatTools virt-who package(virt-who-0.19-2.el7sat) has been built on 2017-03-15

official virt-who (virt-who-0.19-2.el7) includes many bugfix, but SatTools virt-who package(virt-who-0.19-2.el7sat) didn't include these bugfix,

In my opinion, SatTools virt-who package should keep to sync with the official version, 
if a official virt-who-0.19-2.el7 is created, please don't create virt-who-0.19-3.el7sat for SatTools,  virt-who-0.19-2.el7sat or virt-who-0.19-2.1.el7sat will be more better.

Comment 4 Eko 2017-03-31 02:07:55 UTC
There is a customer scenario:
the customer install virt-who-0.19-1.el7 from the RHEL repository, but one day he found there are two new packages for update:
1). virt-who-0.19-2.el7    (from RHEL) => build based on upstream, includes all the bugfix
2). virt-who-0.19-2.el7sat (from SatTools) => re-build based on virt-who-0.19-1.el7, no more bugfix, 

The customer will think virt-who-0.19-2.el7 and virt-who-0.19-2.el7sat are the same version, but in fact not the same version, if update to virt-who-0.19-2.el7sat, he will miss some critical bugfix patch.

Given all of the various changes that have happened in virt-who releases, this is no longer an issue, and should not be an issue for pending EL7 or Sat releases. Please reopen if we find otherwise.

I just found this exact issue injected into my system today. I am still using the Redhat 6, however the working virt-who-0.18-3.el6 was definitely upgraded to a broken virt-who-0.19-2.el6sat version.

I am working again after downgrading the version. I agree that having this present in 2 different channels will still be an issue. If a newer version is coming out, I haven't seen it yet. The Redhat server rpms channel still only shows 0.18.3 as the latest.

I'm wondering if I should just filter this package out from the Satellite channel completely to prevent the bad package install from taking place again.
