Description of problem: register a system search , "needed packages" ie.. zsh or another package that is not installed click search.. should return any system that does not have zsh installed..
I may have misunderstood the intended functionality. I thought "needed packages" meant it would search for a package which was installed *and* and a newer version of that package was available. So, for this I was thinking the testcase would be something like 1) register a system 2) identify a package where you have an old/new package in the channel 3) install old package 4) allow index to be updated 5) search for needed package on that old package
[root@fjs-0-19 ~]# up2date bash Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-as-4... Fetching rpm headers... ######################################## Name Version Rel ---------------------------------------------------------- The following packages you requested are already updated: bash [root@fjs-0-19 ~]# up2date -p Updating package profile... Updating transaction history... wes__A00A001 bash-3.0.19.6.i386 Management, Provisioning wes__A00B002 bash-3.0.19.7.el4_7.1.i386 Management, Provisioning The profile wes_A00B002 has had bash upgraded and is no longer "needed" and should not be listed. The "needed packages" should be the sum of all packages listed in sdc -> software -> packages -> upgrade
Main problem was related to the query: systems_with_needed_package in System_queries. It's fixed in this commit (VADER branch): http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spacewalk.git;a=commit;h=8ae88c8cea2d5be7bed5e54f5c94ed96396027fa
