Tools 6.7 RHEL8 composes contains redundant python2-gofer-2.12.5-5.el8sat.noarch.rpm being superseded by python3-gofer-2.12.5-5.el8sat.noarch.rpm

The fixed gofer package should be available since snap 14, but it isn't. We'll look into that.

Can we get access to your test client?

Avoid installing katello-agent as it resolves the packaging issue for gofer rpm.

In situation where there is only gofer rpm (without katello-agent) installed it fails as I reported.

[Service]
Environment=PYTHON=/usr/bin/python
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/goferd
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env ${PYTHON} /usr/bin/goferd --foreground
Restart=on-abort

goferd service uses "/usr/bin/env /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/goferd --foreground"

vs.

while gofer rpm requires /usr/libexec/platform-python 

 

python2 gofer rpm required /usr/bin/python2 
while python3 gofer rpm requires /usr/libexec/platform-python and it should be /usr/bin/python3

Checking if I read correctly. If katello-agent is installed then the pathing is fine and everything works correctly. If you just install gofer (which is not a supported scenario) then the pathing for python is incorrect?

If that is true, we can clean this up in a later release as I think what we care about the most is whether katello-agent works or not.

we don't support installing gofer standalone without katello-agent. this is something we should clean up but not block 6.7 GA as long as katello-agent + gofer are working together.

Lukas, if you can confirm that the agent functionality is working as expected, we can move this off of 6.7

Hello

testing on behalf of Lukas

I registered a RHEL8.1 system to Sat6.7 latest snap

Subscribed to repos[1] inc. tools from 6.6

While installing katello-agent it failed on installing dependency python3-setuptools. I had to try a few times to install that and resync the repository 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS RPMs 8'. Then I could install katelo0-agetn as expected.


In the Content Hosts web UI I see:
Katello Agent
    Installed 


From the Task tab I could install vim.

Hello

I should have added, that on my test host, I have:

[root@rhel8-1 ~]# rpm -q gofer
gofer-2.12.5-5.el8sat.noarch

Hello

My test in comment 15 confirms Mike's test in comment 9

But the issue in comment 0 still exists, so as per comment 13 and comment 14, it should be re-evaluated another time.

Thank you

/usr/libexec/platform-python is a valid replacement for the requires, if the package requires that path, the original issue is solved as we are no longer requiring python2
