Description of problem: If a system is subscribed to a base channel which had been cloned using API, then inspite of having errata's applicable to the system, its status is always shown as up to date. If we change the system's base channel to a base channel cloned from web-ui then the behavior is corrected and it shows the errata updates as applicable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Network Satellite v5.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clone a channel (test-clone-api) using channel.software.clone API 2. Subscribe a system (which is not fully updated) to the newly created cloned channel (test-clone-api) 3. Check System's Overview page Actual results: System status is shown as up to date Expected results: System status shows "Count of applicable errata's should be displayed" Additional info: If we create a clone a channel (test-clone-web-ui) through web interface and subscribe the same system to it then it shows the count of errata/packages applicable to the system.
I let compute channel newest packages and errata cache for the cloned channel, but rhn_channel.refresh_newest_package took about 2,5minutes for channels with 11000 packages (like current rhel5 x86_64 channel). After trying several options I decided to 'clone' the rhnChannelNewestPackage content of the original channel as well. My speed expectations were met. spacewalk.git: 60b95f765093ab8ee73c36289f5fd6b1c66b969f
Changing to Verified: Testing procedure: - As per comment 0. (Compared behaviour on sat540 to Sat541) - clone rhel6 base channel via API - subscribe a system - check the updates on WebUI Verified against: spacewalk-java-1.2.39-68.el6sat.noarch
Verified in stage w/ spacewalk-java-1.2.39-82 -> release pending.
