Description of problem: When updating the CDN url, Satellite will trigger a foreman task to update the feed url of all the Red Hat repositories to reflect the new base url. If any of the Red Hat repositories is used by any content view, Satellite will update its feed url X(number of CVs used it) + 1 times. Thus, break the feed url. The path of the feed url will be replaced with an empty string. For example, If I change my CDN repo to "http://satellite.example.com/pub/exports" Before updating: https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os After updating, the feed url will become: http://satellite.example.com/pub/exports In '/opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/katello-3.10.0.48/app/lib/actions/katello/provider/update.rb' def update_repository_urls(product, current_base_url, new_base_url) product.repositories.each do |repository| <=============== "product.repositories" will include "library_instance_id != nil" repos. next unless repository.url path = repository.url.split(current_base_url)[1] <========== Path will be ""(empty string) when updating the 2nd times. url = "#{new_base_url}#{path}" plan_action(::Actions::Katello::Repository::Update, repository.root, :url => url) <===== Root repository will be updated multiple times end end Due to this issue, it also caused many duplicate RegenerateMetadata for the same repositories. This may cause serious performance impact for large environment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.5 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable any Red Hat Repository 2. Create a CV and add that repository to the CV, publish and promote the CV. 3. Change the CDN url and wait for the task to finish. 4. Check the feed url of the repository in the web ui.
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/27242 has been resolved.

Created attachment 1623131 [details] hotfix tfm-rubygem-katello RPM A hotfix RPM has been built for this bug. The installation instructions: 1. Download the hotfix RPM from this bug and copy it to satellite server 2. # yum localinstall /path/to/hotfix/RPM 3. # systemctl restart httpd
Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:3172
Note that this patch alone won't automatically resolve any previously broken URLs, since the patch fixes a bug with the task that updates the repository URLs when the CDN URL is changed. To fully resolve this issue, affected customers must: 1. Install HF or upgrade to Satellite 6.6 2. Re-trigger the task that updates repo URLs, by changing the CDN URL to something else then changing it back to the desired setting (e.g. https://cdn.redhat.com for Satellites that pull content from the Red Hat CDN)
Additional note for customers who install the Hotfix: restarting httpd alone is insufficient and dynflowd needs to be restarted as well. UPDATED HF installation instructions: 1. Download the hotfix RPM from this bug and copy it to satellite server 2. # yum localinstall /path/to/hotfix/RPM 3. # systemctl restart httpd dynflowd
