Description Michal Dekan 2019-12-11 14:28:06 UTC
Description of problem:

Have a RHEL 8.1 client registered to Satellite 6.6, go to Hosts => Content Hosts => select RHEL 8.1 client => tab Packages, choose Applicable and click on "Update All Packages"

First run: 7 packages out of 25 got updated, foreman task  Actions::Katello::Host::Package::Update finished successfully.

Package profile for the client didn't get updated, still see 25 Applicable packages, yum check-update is showing 18 available updates.

Second run: Clicked on "Update All Packages", foreman task Actions::Katello::Host::Package::Update finished successfully again, very quickly, looks like nothing was updated on the client at all. yum check-update returns again 18 available updates.

Checking which message is sent to katello-agent:

 while true; do cp /var/lib/gofer/messaging/pending/katello/* tmp; sleep 0.0001; done

And then click on Update All Packages, got following file, during second run:

How reproducible: 100 %


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Provisioned RHEL 8.1 trough Satellite 6.6
2. Clock on Update All Packages, task finished successfully, however only 7 packages out of 25 got updated and package profile for the client did not get updated on Satellite side, task Actions::Katello::Host::UploadProfiles finished sucessfully 
3.

Actual results:

First run of Update All Packages on RHEL 8.1 client updated only 7 packages out of 25, package profile on Satellite didn't get updated. Second run of Update All Packages didn't update any package.

Expected results:

"Update All Packages" updates all packages on RHEL 8.1 :)

I think https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1713417 fixed just "errata install" scenario but the bugfix should be extended to cover this call flow as well.

Checking codefix of bz1713417 : https://github.com/Katello/katello-host-tools/pull/98/files makes a different condition to call

lib.upgrade(patterns)

But in case of "Update All Packages", both patterns and advisories are empty lists. Removing the "if patterns:" condition and letting lib.upgrade(patterns) to be executed every time, packages are updated.

But I am not 100% sure if this cant break something - what is the expected behaviour of the "update" method called on empty lists?
- to update nothing? (then katello should enumerate all packages to update in the RMI request / enumerate the unit_keys)
- or update everything? (then my patch proposal is sane)

Requesting review of the author of the original patch.

Tested on Satellite 6.8 Snap 8 using the reproducer from the initial report. Registered a RHEL 8.1 content host and executed "Update All Packages" on the "Packages->Applicable" page. All packages were successfully updated. The "Actions::Katello::Host::UploadProfiles" task was performed successfully, no more packages to update were listed.
