upstream issue here: https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/satellite-clone/issues/280

Satellite doesn't support force deleting of capsules, so validations will prevent deleting a capsule on a cloned machine. There isn't a ton we can do about that in satellite-clone without causing issues elsewhere. Currently, to remove a capsule, you must remove any associations that will prevent it from being deleted.

Here are some steps that others have found helpful (some steps may not apply to your environment):

- for remote execution, go to administer->settings->remote execution and ensure that `remote_execution_without_proxy` is set to No/False
- then for every subnet, on the remote execution tab remove all capsules, and also on the capsules tab set all the dropdowns to empty
- for all domains set the dns capsule to empty
- for puppet/puppetca - on hosts page, select all hosts, choose all hosts not only on this page, and from the dropdown choose "change puppetmaster" and set it to none, and the same for puppet ca

After this, you should be able to delete a capsule.

If you run into trouble with these steps or still can't delete a capsule on a clone, please comment and we can debug further.

Added a KCS solution regarding this issue

At this time, there are no additional code changes planned; therefore, I am going to close the bugzilla.  If there are any concerns, please feel free to re-open with additional details.

The referenced KCS is intended to provide the steps the user may perform to enable them to remove the capsule.
