Description of problem: When using the kickstart.profile.software.setSoftwareList API call in Satellite 5.3, I get a Java exception about duplicate values. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: Create a Kickstart profile with the default software package list, @Base. Write an API script to set the software package list to @Base, screen. The API call fails with an Internal Server Error, and the attached Java exceptions in /var/log/tomcat/catalina.out. Actual results: It's not possible to change the software package list with the API call. Expected results: The API call should set the Kickstart profile's package list. Additional info: As a workaround, one can first pass an empty list to setSoftwareList, and then call it again with the real package list.

I believe this issue has been addressed for Satellite 5.4. Can you upgrade your Satellite and see if the problem goes away for you? Thank you, Jan
