Description of problem: rhn-virtualization-host is not installed when act key is used Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.4.0-RHEL5-re20101019.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create activation key and add: + rhel6 channels (don't use default base) + virtualization platform 2. connect client with this activation key 3. rhn-virtualization host is not installed Actual results: activation key doesn't contain rhn-virtualization-host and doesn't add rhn client tool channel Expected results: act key: it automatically adds rhn client tools channel and add rhn-virtualization-host into Software Additional info: It works well for sat530, adding Regression
this works well: create activation key with base channel=RHN default and add virtualization platform =>then rhn child channel and package rhn-virtualization-host are added properly.
Reproducible only if several child channels with required package are available (rhncfg before this change, rhn-virtualization-host after the change). Several fixes done, see commit message for more info. spacewalk.git: 9bd01098d0caf6a67889f387bee58baee5145828
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause When activation key had a specific base channel specified and a required tools package was available in several child channels of the base, none of the child channel was associated with the activation key Consequence rhn-virtualization-host wasn't installed, when registering using an activation key Fix Several fixes done in related actions Result Even if an activation key had a specific base channel specified and a required tools package was available in several child channels of the base, rhn-virtualization-host package gets installed, when registering using this activation key
Did you run rhn_check between step 4 and 5 or waited for 4 hours?
