Description of problem: The package rhn-ssl-cert-check doesn't appear to be removed when upgrading from satellite 5.2.0 to 5.3.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-ssl-cert-check-5.2-1.2.el5 How reproducible: only have done it once. So far always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade Satellite (this was on RHEL 5, x86_64, embedded database) from 5.2.0 2. the package rhn-ssl-cert-check-5.2.-1.2.el5 remains on the system 3. Actual results: The package remains after Satellite is upgraded, but is non operative as it makes checks for rhns-satellite-tools package, which is removed during the upgrade process. Expected results: As it appears that this package is not provided in 5.3.0, it should check to see if the old package existed and remove it if necessary. Ideally, a new package should be provided, or its functionality be provided by another package. Additional info:
I think this was moved/renamed into the RHN Tools channel. Maybe you are not subscribed to the RHN Tools channel for this package. Cliff
(In reply to comment #1) > I think this was moved/renamed into the RHN Tools channel. Maybe you are not > subscribed to the RHN Tools channel for this package. This is what in fact happened: 1. With Satellite 5.3.0 release, package spacewalk-ssl-cert-check was pushed into all rhn-tools channels, which obsoleted rhn-ssl-cert-check on all < 5.3 Satellites subscribed to rhn-tools channels (spacewalk-ssl-cert-check did not work on < 5.3 Satellites). 2. There was a fix for this, which pushed rhn-ssl-cert-check-5.2.-1.2.el5 into all < 5.3 Satellite channels, which obsoleted spacewalk-ssl-cert-check < 1.8 (so that you'd have a working ssl-cert-check in your < 5.3 Satellites again). These two facts cause the upgrade problem described in the initial comment.
For all Satellite customers who upgraded to Satellite 5.3 and are experiencing this problem, the solution (or workaround) would be to (forcibly) remove rhn-ssl-cert-check and install latest spacewalk-ssl-cert-check contained in the Satellite 5.3 channel (or installation ISO). With the upgrade to Satellite 5.4, the problem will be resolved automatically during package upgrade. QA: Install Satellite 5.2, subscribe it to rhn-tools channel, upgrade packages and upgrade to Satellite 5.4. Check that spacewalk-ssl-cert-check package is installed and it works as expected.
