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 Ondrej Gajdusek 2020-10-07 13:34:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
None of the base Satelite/Capsule packages strictly requires ansible-2.9. Documentation tells customer to enable rhel-7-server-ansible-2.9-rpms repository 
thus I assume that this is a strict requirement. If customers do not enable this repository, they will end up with ansible-2.4.2.0-2.el7.noarch.rpm installed from the Satellite Maintenance repository not with ansible-2.9.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite-6.8.0-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm -q --whatrequires ansible | grep el7sat | xargs rpm -qR | sort -u | grep ansible

Actual results:
No package requires ansible-2.9 to be installed.


Expected results:
There should be some package that would force installing ansible-2.9.

Additional info:
Comment 2 Ondrej Gajdusek 2020-10-07 14:20:48 UTC 
The reproducer is not quite accurate.

The package that should set the requirement for the ansible package is: tfm-rubygem-smart_proxy_ansible.

$ rpm -qR tfm-rubygem-smart_proxy_ansible | grep ^ansible

Actual: ansible >= 2.2
Expected: ansible >= 2.9
Comment 3 Evgeni Golov 2020-10-19 14:43:48 UTC 
Notes from the triage session:
* the 2.9 requirement is Red Hat support/QE only (we only support that version of ansible in 6.8, the underlying code is probably working with other versions fine)
* >= 2.9 would include 2.10, which we don't support either
* proposal to add a "Requires: ansible >= 2.9, Requires: ansible < 2.10" to the satellite and satellite-capsule RPMs Red Hat ships.
Comment 4 Evgeni Golov 2020-10-19 14:44:18 UTC 
Or maybe not capsule, as we don't enable ansible on capsules by default?
Comment 5 Evgeni Golov 2020-11-20 10:18:23 UTC 
(In reply to Evgeni Golov from comment #4)
> Or maybe not capsule, as we don't enable ansible on capsules by default?

our docs say to enable ansible repo on capsule too, so I went and added the dependency to satellite-common
Comment 6 Brad Buckingham 2021-01-08 20:13:39 UTC 
Satellite 6.9 SNAP 8 currently has satellite-6.9.0-0.3.beta.el7sat.noarch.  Based upon the 'fixed in version', aligning to 6.9 and updating status.
Comment 7 Ondrej Gajdusek 2021-02-18 09:05:48 UTC 
Verified.
Package satellite-common now requires ansible being installed. This has an effect on Satellite as well as Satellite capsules.

$ rpm -qR satellite-common
ansible < 2.10
ansible >= 2.9
