Description Tomas Lestach 2009-08-26 09:39:49 UTC
Description of problem:
When kickstarting a client over proxy, items like Next Action, Last File Requested and Total Packages Requested from ks status don't get updated

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090820.0
# rpm -qa | grep proxy
spacewalk-proxy-redirect-0.5.7-10.el5sat
spacewalk-proxy-installer-0.5.25-18.el5sat
spacewalk-proxy-common-0.5.7-10.el5sat
spacewalk-proxy-management-0.5.7-10.el5sat
rhn-proxy-branding-5.3.0.27-1.el5sat
spacewalk-proxy-broker-0.5.7-10.el5sat
spacewalk-proxy-docs-0.4.1-2.el5sat
spacewalk-proxy-package-manager-0.5.7-10.el5sat
spacewalk-proxy-selinux-0.5.2-7.el5sat

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install sat, set up proxy, register a client over proxy
2. create a ks profile for the client
3. schedule created ks for the client and choose to use the proxy for the ks data
4. attach console to the client to be able to observe the ks on the client
5. run rhn_check on the client to initiate ks
6. check the kickstart session status on WEBUI and the client's console

Actual results:
when the client starts to download packages, there's no information about it on WEBUI
I still see on rhn/systems/details/kickstart/SessionStatus.do?sid=<sid>:
==============================================================================
Next Action:	 none
Description:	The system has been restarted in order to begin the kickstart process.
Time:	8/26/09 10:45:49 AM CEST
Last File Requested:	 none
Total Packages Requested:	 0
Cancel Kickstart?	Cancel Kickstart
==============================================================================
Description is outdated, Next action, Last file requested and total packages requested don't get updated at all.

When post-install scripts are run on the client, kickstart progress jumps from "Reboot System" to "Kickstart complete" (what is correct), but Next action, Last file requested and Total packages requested remain the same (none/0).

Expected results:
- Next action, Last file requested and total packages requested get updated during the ks
- KS status information updated on WEBUI as when running KS directly without proxy
