Description of problem: It is not possible to enable a repository-set with a repo URL missing the "$basearch" variable. Because of this it is not possible to enable official RHEL 8 Beta repos in Satellite 6.5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Sat 6.5 Snap 11 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a manifest with a Red Hat Beta entitlemen uploaded to the Satellite 6.5 2. In "Content -> Red Hat Repositories" enable Beta in the dropbox, and find Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS Beta (RPMs) (rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-beta-rpms). 3. Try to enable the x86_64 repo Actual results: The operation fails with a message: "basearch cannot be specified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS Beta (RPMs) as that information is not substitutable in /content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/baseos/os" Expected results: Repo is enabled. Additional info: The same operation using hammer: =================================================================== hammer> repository-set info --organization-id 1 --id 7568 ID: 7568 Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS Beta (RPMs) Type: yum URL: /content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/baseos/os GPG Key: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-beta,file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release Label: rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-beta-rpms Enabled Repositories: hammer> repository-set enable --organization-id 1 --id 7568 Could not enable repository: basearch cannot be specified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS Beta (RPMs) as that information is not substitutable in /content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/baseos/os =================================================================== The same operation in Sat 6.4 works without any problems. =================================================================== hammer> repository-set info --organization-id 1 --product-id 25 --id 7568 ID: 7568 Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS Beta (RPMs) Type: yum URL: /content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/baseos/os GPG Key: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-beta,file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release Label: rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-beta-rpms Enabled Repositories: hammer> repository-set enable --organization-id 1 --product-id 25 --id 7568 Repository enabled =================================================================== The URL really doesn't contain the $basearch var, but Sat 6.4 was apparently much less strict about this (or the $basearch wasn't set by default).
