RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 Tomáš Hozza 2022-10-20 13:28:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
dnf-json previously ran as a service, and the
/var/cache/osbuild-composer/rpmmd directory and files were owned by root. As a script called from osbuild-composer those directories and files need to be owned by _osbuild-composer:_osbuild-composer, otherwise it will not be able to depsolve after an upgrade from the previous implementation.



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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the latest osbuild-composer package from the latest RHEL 9.0.
2. Start osbuild-composer.socket.
3. Create a testing blueprint and push it to composer using composer-cli
4. sudo composer-cli projects list
5. Upgrade the osbuild-composer package to the latest 9.1 rpm
6. sudo composer-cli projects list

Actual results:
Error such as:
[core@localhost ~]$ sudo composer-cli projects list
ERROR: ProjectsError: msg: DNF error occurred: RepoError: There was a problem reading a repository: Cannot create repo destination directory "/var/cache/osbuild-composer/rpmmd/5b1a6a9dd5657b1991ac6c2ffac793693229b8f1276abbcb83072907cde93b7a-abf9ed1cf56274b5": Permission denied

Expected results:
no permissions-related error on the var/cache/osbuild-composer/rpmmd folder

Additional info:
This can be worked around by removing the
/var/cache/osbuild-composer/rpmmd directory and restarting the service or rebooting.

@Tomas,
I am missing something here but not sure what. I can't depsolve in order to reproduce the bug. Any ideas ?
Comment 7 Brian Lane 2023-02-13 17:50:28 UTC 
Did you restart osbuild-composer / reboot after setting up the subscription? It only loads the cert at startup.

I didn't. That worked. Thanks.
Comment 9 Alexander Todorov 2023-02-14 11:33:33 UTC 
After restart and a successful depsolve/projects list I see:

# ls -ld /var/cache/osbuild-composer/rpmmd/
