Description of problem: Procedures::Packages::Install should be after epel repo check If you have epel repo enabled and run foreman-maintain its possible it will fail when it tries to get packages for the speed test. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@dell-r330-12 ~]# rpm -q rubygem-foreman_maintain rubygem-foreman_maintain-0.4.5-1.el7sat.noarch How reproducible: depends on packages versions for libpmem at the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable epel repo (yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm) 2. foreman-maintain upgrade run --target-version 6.6.z --whitelist="disk-performance,repositories-validate,repositories-setup" 3. Actual results: ~]# foreman-maintain upgrade run --target-version 6.6.z Running preparation steps required to run the next scenarios ================================================================================ Procedures::Packages::Install: Error: Package: libpmem-devel-1.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libpmem = 1.1-1.el7 Available: libpmem-1.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) libpmem = 1.1-1.el7 Available: libpmem-1.1-4.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) libpmem = 1.1-4.el7 Available: libpmem-1.2.1-4.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) libpmem = 1.2.1-4.el7 Available: libpmem-1.3-3.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) libpmem = 1.3-3.el7 Installing: libpmem-1.4-3.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) libpmem = 1.4-3.el7 Expected results: Check if EPEL repository enabled on system: | Checking for presence of EPEL repository Additional info: foreman-maintain should not attempt to install packages for speed check if you use --whitelist="disk-performance" command option.
Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/29002 from this bug
Hello Stephen, There are steps that can require some additional steps to be performed before foreman-maintain can proceed. A typical example is installing additional dependencies. In foreman-maintain, these additional steps are called as preparation steps and these will be run as separate scenario all together. Through foreman-maintain we can control ordering for checks but running these preparation steps and running pre-upgrade checks are two different scenarios. To achieve what you have mentioned i.e foreman-maintain should check for epel repo first in case of pre-upgrade checks and to avoid repetitive conditional checking of EPEL repository each time for every package install preparation step. I need to run this EPEL repository check explicitly as a part of preparation steps scenario when any package installation step added. In results, user will see that this check will be run twice one while running preparation steps and one as part of pre-upgrade checks. - Kavita
