Description of problem: The option to upgrade existing packages from satellite web interface i.e System Profile -> Software -> Packages -> Upgrade this doesn't work as expected for x86_64 systems. If i386 and x86_64 package is installed on the system with one being latest and other slightly old - still the older one wouldn't be listed as available for upgrade under the system profile. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHNS 530 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. WebUI -> Systems 2. Select a x86_64 system 3. Software -> Upgrade 4. Make sure you are a list of package for both the arch available in the list 5. Select the i386 package only and update. 6. Repeat steps 1-3 and you will see that now it doesn't list the x86_64 package Actual results: Upgrade list doesnt show x86_64 package as available Expected results: It should show the package that was not upgraded Additional info: Reproduced locally on RHNS 530. It seems that entries for both the packages are removed from the cache when only one arch of the package is updated.
Ok, I think i have this figured out and fixed. The downside is that is requires a schema change in addition to a java side change. Commit: 7ff5c9d737d679513732e0b570e3ed8b5147aaed Basically the query was not taking into consideration arch information on what was already installed. I changed it to take this into consideration and restrict by the Arch but this also caused an issue. firstboot-tui's arch actually change during the RHEL 5 lifecycle, so it started off as a noarch package and became an x86_64 package. So i had to restrict by arch only when it was relevant. It's amazing how confusing such a simple little thing can become....
