Description Renaud Métrich 2020-01-07 14:37:19 UTC
Description of problem:

This can be particularly seen with Satellite installations defining another repository than cdn.redhat.com.
When the repository is *not* resolvable through DNS, but is only known to /etc/hosts, the upgrade of the system fails with the following error in "phase 2" (systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/leapp/el8userspace ...):

[MIRROR] irqbalance-1.4.0-4.el8.x86_64.rpm: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://<HOSTNAME>/content/dist/rhel8/8.1/x86_64/baseos/os/Packages/i/irqbalance-1.4.0-4.el8.x86_64.rpm [Could not resolve host: <HOSTNAME>]


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

leapp-0.9.0-1.el7.rpm


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure "cdn.redhat.com" is not available through DNS

 - add "PEERDNS=no" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXX file
 - restart the network
 - empty file /etc/resolv.conf
 - add entry to /etc/hosts:

  95.101.56.251	cdn.redhat.com
  10.4.204.72	subscription.rhsm.redhat.com


2. Run "leapp upgrade"

Actual results:

Fails fetching packages in 2nd phase


Additional info:

This is due to /etc/hosts from the hosts not being available in /var/lib/leapp/el8userspace.
Instead /var/lib/leapp/el8userspace/etc/hosts contains the default file (with "localhost" entries only) installed by setup-2.12.2-2.el8_1.1.noarch.rpm

Comment 2 Renaud Métrich 2020-01-07 14:41:28 UTC
Prior to executing phase 2 ("systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/leapp/el8userspace ..."), /etc/hosts from the system must be copied to /var/lib/leapp/el8userspace/etc

Comment 3 Petr Stodulka 2020-01-07 15:03:18 UTC
Thanks Renaud for report and investigation! I have feeling that we probably missed this possible issue several times. I will add fix fix soon.

Comment 4 Renaud Métrich 2020-01-07 15:16:03 UTC
Note that probably other files need to be copied as well, e.g. /etc/nsswitch.conf if using alternative resolution methods (Centrify, ...)

Comment 5 Petr Stodulka 2020-01-07 15:28:13 UTC
Good point. I will probably sync with network sst about the proper solution as it looks this is just the tip of the iceberg.
