Description of problem: When using a relative path to run the `hammer content-view version import` the import is failing due to the command search the files unpacked from the tarball on the root ('/') directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ~~~ ~]# hammer --version hammer (0.15.1.2) * hammer_cli_csv (unknown version) * hammer_cli_foreman (0.15.1.1) * hammer_cli_foreman_admin (0.0.8) * hammer_cli_foreman_ansible (unknown version) * hammer_cli_foreman_bootdisk (0.1.3.3) * hammer_cli_foreman_discovery (1.0.0) * hammer_cli_foreman_docker (unknown version) * hammer_cli_foreman_openscap (0.1.6) * hammer_cli_foreman_remote_execution (unknown version) * hammer_cli_foreman_tasks (unknown version) * hammer_cli_foreman_templates (0.1.2) * hammer_cli_foreman_virt_who_configure (unknown version) * hammer_cli_katello (0.16.0.11) ~~~ How reproducible: Generate an exported content view version and import it on a Satellite, cd into '/var/lib/pulp/katello-export' directory and run the 'hammer content-view version import' using the relative path. I have confirmed that if you place the tarball into /var/lib/pulp/katello-export, cd into /var/lib/pulp/katello-export, and run the import using the fully qualified path to the export file that it does work, as we can see on the following output ~~~ [root@rhel2 katello-export]# hammer content-view version import --export-tar export-gluster-3.tar --organization-id 1 [...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................] [100%] No new packages. Error: RPM1004: Error retrieving metadata: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '//./export-gluster-3/My_Laptop/content_views/gluster/1.0/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/rhgs-server/3.1/os/repodata/repomd.xml' Could not impot the content view: augeas-devel-1.4.0-9.el7.x86_64.rpm not available in repository Red_Hat_Gluster_Storage_3_Server_RPMs_x86_64_7Server ~~~ Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy the tarball file exported to '/var/lib/pulp/katello-export' directory 2. Cd into '/var/lib/pulp/katello-export' 3. Run the `hammer content-view version import` command using the relative path. Actual results: The importer process is failing to import the rpm files due to the permission. Expected results: The rpm files would be imported on the Satellite. Additional info:
Similarly, it will fail if you do not change directory to /var/lib/pulp/katello-export before running the command. It would be desirable to be able to run the command from anywhere. If you are in /var/lib/pulp/katello-export and specify a relative path to the file it errors: [root@rhel2 katello-export]# hammer content-view version import --export-tar export-gluster-3.tar --organization-id 1 [...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................] [100%] No new packages.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team. Thank you.
Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
