Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Surjeet Salvi 2019-11-19 10:45:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
Command "dnf updateinfo list sec" list security errata for kernel even if the latest kernel is installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.1 (Ootpa)
Satellite Server 6.4, 6.5, 6.6

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register an RHEL 8 host with Satellite Server
2. Perform full system update using "yum update -y" and reboot the system
3. Execute the command "dnf updateinfo list sec" which will show applicable security for kernel only

Expected results:
Command "dnf updateinfo list available" should able to show new errata if applicable to the system. 

Additional info:

- I tried the following workaround
a. Remove all the old installed kernel and its dependent package.
b. Clear the yum cache "dnf clean all"
c. Run the command "dnf updateinfo list available" shows the expected result as below

I've got the exact same problem on Oracle Linux 8.1 using public repos from Oracle so I don't think it's specific to Satellite 6.

Comment 14 Stephen Wadeley 2021-01-07 17:28:50 UTC 
Hello @Surgeet

dnf utility is not a Satellite product, its RHEL8.

Please check again using later package mentioned in "Fixed In Version" field of the RHEL8 bug [1]

If that works, close this bug as duplicate of that bug.

 If it does not work, try to reproduce the issue against CDN and raise a new bug against product and component shown in [1]




Thank you

Hello Stephen,

Thank you for your response. 

I have followed the steps as per BUG - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1728004 and did see any issues with the kernel packages

But when suggested to the customer, he is still facing a similar issue for the other RHEL packages.

I am waiting for the details from the Customer. I Will update the bug once I receive the further information.

Thank you
