Description Stephen Wadeley 2019-03-27 10:32:26 UTC

Description of problem:

RHEL 8 only has its own system python installed by default under 
usr/libexec/

The bootstrap script will not run if called in the normal ./bootstrap.py way

On a RHEL8 Beta host you can run bootstrap.py as follows:

~#] /usr/libexec/platform-python bootstrap.py

or edit the hash bang line to be #!/usr/libexec/platform-python

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
~]# rpm -q katello-client-bootstrap
katello-client-bootstrap-1.7.1-1.el7sat.noarch



Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a RHEL8 host: curl -O http://sat-6-5.example.com/pub/bootstrap.py
2. ~]# chmod u+x bootstrap.py
3. ~]# /usr/libexec/platform-python bootstrap.py -l admin -s sat-6-5.example.com



Additional info:
It seems that documenting this problem in the built in docs is required as you cannot change the hash bang because bootstrap.py is supplied by Satellite for general use.

Users can of course clone, edit, and rename the script for use on RHEL8 hosts.

I agree this should be a docbug, as we cannot provide a version that detects all pythons easily

OK, I have made a pull request on the linked issue and will clone this bug for the guides, leaving this one to track cherry-pick to downstream.

Thank you

sorry, forgot to add link to the bug for the guides (because the clone repo function has been removed, I had created one from scratch, then forgot to paste it back here)

Comment 7 Stephen Wadeley 2019-04-08 15:42:21 UTC

Hello


Testing with latest snap

On Satellite 

[root@sat-6-5-qa-rhel7 ~]# rpm -q katello-client-bootstrap
katello-client-bootstrap-1.7.2-1.el7sat.noarch

[root@sat-6-5-qa-rhel7 ~]# rpm -qd katello-client-bootstrap
/usr/share/doc/katello-client-bootstrap-1.7.2/README.md
/usr/share/doc/katello-client-bootstrap-1.7.2/bootstrap.yml


[root@sat-6-5-qa-rhel7 ~]# grep -r -A4  "RHEL8"  /usr/share/doc/katello-client-bootstrap-1.7.2/README.md
On an EL8 (RHEL8, CentOS8, etc) host, there is no `/usr/bin/python` or `/usr/bin/python3` by default. The `bootstrap.py` script can be used with the `platform-python` as follows:
~~~
# /usr/libexec/platform-python bootstrap.py
~~~
When the `python36` module is installed, `/usr/bin/python3` can also be used.
[root@sat-6-5-qa-rhel7 ~]# 


On a host with bootstrap.py downloaded

[root@rhel8 ~]# grep -r RHEL8 bootstrap.py 
Use `/usr/libexec/platform-python bootstrap.py` on RHEL8


Thank you
