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 Brian Smith 2018-05-04 20:43:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
redhat-access-insights-puppet puppet module refers to obsolete package, which causes Puppet agent to report redhat-access-insights is installed on every run.  
The puppet module is part of the redhat-access-insights-puppet RPM, and the module is /usr/share/puppet/modules/access_insights_client/manifests/init.pp 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-access-insights-puppet RPM, version 0.0.9.  


How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure Satellite to use the access_insights_client Puppet module
2. Run "puppet agent -t -v" on Satellite client

Actual results:
Every run of "puppet agent -t -v" on the Satellite client reports "Notice: /Stage[main]/Access_insights_client/Package[redhat-access-insights]/ensure: created"

Expected results:
Expected that Puppet only installs the redhat-access-insights package on the first Puppet agent run, and that on additional agent runs it does not report that the redhat-access-insights package is installed again.  


Additional info:
Root cause appears to be the puppet module is referring to the "redhat-access-insights" package, which has been obsoleted by the "insights-client" package.  Puppet is checking if the "redhat-access-insights" package is installed by running "rpm -q" on the package, which reports that it is not installed (since the package has been obsoleted by another package).   Puppet then attempts to install it with yum, and yum understands that "redhat-access-insights" was obsoleted by the "insights-client" package, which is indeed already installed, so no changes are made, however Puppet ends up reporting that the package was installed on every run.

The puppet module is part of the redhat-access-insights-puppet RPM, and the module is /usr/share/puppet/modules/access_insights_client/manifests/init.pp

Satellite 6.2 has reached maintenance support phase 2 [1]. This bug does not quality for inclusion in a 6.2.z release during this support phase. I am therefore closing this bug out.

Bryan - re-opening this BZ as it was opened for Satellite 6.3.
Comment 9 Radovan Drazny 2019-08-30 10:48:16 UTC 
Tested on Satellite 6.6 Snap 17 with the following components:
puppet-agent-5.5.12-1.el7sat.x86_64
insights-client-3.0.6-2.el7_6.noarch

After the initial puppet run, when the insights-client gets installed and configured, all subsequent puppet runs don't report any changes:

$ puppet agent -tv
