Description Jitendra Yejare 2021-07-13 16:08:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
In 6.10, the katello-agent is disabled by default but to enable katello agent, one needs to run satellite installer with foreman-proxy-content-enable-katello-agent flag set to true.

Enabling this flag is failing with error:
```
2021-07-13 11:57:28 [ERROR ] [configure] Could not find user qdrouterd
2021-07-13 11:57:28 [ERROR ] [configure] /Stage[main]/Certs::Qpid_router::Client/Certs::Keypair[qpid_router_client]/File[/etc/pki/katello/qpid_router_client.crt]/owner: change from 'root' to 'qdrouterd' failed: Could not find user qdrouterd
```

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.10 snap 8.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fresh satellite 6.10
2. Observe katello-agent plugin is disabled by default in Satellite.
3. Attempt to enable the same by running satellite-installer as below:
# satellite-installer --scenario satellite  --foreman-proxy-content-enable-katello-agent true

Actual results:
The installer fails with error:
```
2021-07-13 11:57:28 [ERROR ] [configure] Could not find user qdrouterd
2021-07-13 11:57:28 [ERROR ] [configure] /Stage[main]/Certs::Qpid_router::Client/Certs::Keypair[qpid_router_client]/File[/etc/pki/katello/qpid_router_client.crt]/owner: change from 'root' to 'qdrouterd' failed: Could not find user qdrouterd
```

Expected results:
1. Satellite installer succeeds.
2. The katello agent plugin is installed successfully.
2. The qpid is configured.

Comment 1 Jitendra Yejare 2021-07-13 16:15:11 UTC 
Needs to document that katello-agent has to be enabled explicitly in 6.10!
Comment 2 Eric Helms 2021-07-13 16:22:21 UTC 
The problem is the yum errors in the output. Can you double check what repositories are enabled?
Comment 3 Jitendra Yejare 2021-07-14 09:03:54 UTC 
@ehelms 

You are right here! My satellite setup had repositories enabled earlier during installation and later it has been removed as part of the teardown process in Ansible Tower!

I enabled it and ran the installer again to enable the katello agent and it just works fine!

Closing this bug as NOTABUG.
Comment 4 Gaurav Talreja 2021-07-27 07:28:34 UTC 
Hi,


I also hit the same error as mentioned in the description, when no repos enabled on a system, but even after installer failure `--foreman-proxy-content-enable-katello-agent` is set to true, which shouldn't be set I believe.

And if it is set to true, so this causes katello-agent to fail while performing host operations like,

# hammer host package install --packages zsh --host-id 5
This command uses katello agent and will be removed in favor of remote execution in a future release.
The remote execution equivalent is `hammer job-invocation create --feature katello_package_install`.
[................................................................................................................................] [100%]
Error: Connection refused - connect(2) for "localhost" port 5671


so reopening this BZ for the installer, let me know here or in chat if any details are required.


Thanks, 
Gaurav
Comment 5 Eric Helms 2021-07-27 15:44:30 UTC 
I don't follow the issue here. You cannot enable katello-agent with no repositories configured. That will fail and is expected to fail as it throws errors with missing packages. I still recommend this be closed notabug.
Comment 6 Gaurav Talreja 2021-08-06 06:32:04 UTC 
Yes true, it is expected to fail when no repositories are configured and it throws the right errors for missing packages, but even after failure in enabling, a flag is being set to TRUE, which shouldn't be set I believe.
Comment 7 Eric Helms 2021-08-06 13:54:11 UTC 
The user has set it to 'true' indicating what they want to happen, the flag in this case does not indicate the state of the system but rather the desire of the user. Our installer does not unset a users input if something fails, there is no rollback on failure. The user would need to fix the problem, in this case repositories missing, and then re-run the installer so that they get a successful run. This should be the case for anything the user does with the installer.
