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 Manu Sunil 2022-02-13 22:59:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

- Retain package versions option on the repository does not retain the specified number of package versions after synchronization.

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

- satellite-7.0.0-0.5.beta.el7sat.noarch
- foreman-3.1.1.4-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:

- Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a repository to sync a custom product.

2. On the upstream location, add one package and create the repodata.

3. Sync the repository on the Satellite with the following settings.

   Retain Package: 1
   Mirroring Policy: Additive

4. Add another package to the upstream location and recreate the repodata again.

5. Sync the repository on the Satellite with the following settings.

   Retain Package: 2
   Mirroring Policy: Additive


Actual results:

1. First Sync

   The upstream repository:

   Similarly like before the package changed to the newer version but the older versions were removed even though the Retain Package Versions option is set to 5

- Each time the repository is synced after adding new packages, the old packages are removed and the specified count of versions is not retained.

Expected results:

- The specified count of package versions should be synced.
Comment 2 Samir Jha 2022-02-17 17:17:46 UTC 
Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/34469 from this bug
Comment 5 Bryan Kearney 2022-02-23 20:05:38 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/34469 has been resolved.
Comment 8 Silas Pusateri 2022-05-03 17:49:49 UTC 
Verified.

Version tested: Sat 6.11 snap 18.5

Steps:
1. Create a repo with a negative 'retain_package_versions_count'
2. Try to save the repo
3. After it fails, set the 'retain_package_versions_count' to a positive number
4. Save the repo 
5. Ensure the correct 'retain_package_versions_count' is set 
6. Sync the repo

Expected result:
The repo should sync the correct number of packages based on 'retain_package_versions_count'

Result:
The repo syncs the correct number of packages based on 'retain_package_versions_count'
