Description of problem:
repo create error


<jmatthews> preethi_lt, '/var/lib/pulp//repos/released/F-14/GOLD/Fedora/x86_64/os/repodata/1d46a2073097bdb6b7b6f6fba60e4525ca0bf2d1165026a3e1c87b0b2abaf07f-1d46a2073097bdb
<jmatthews> 6b7b6f6fba60e4525ca0bf2d1165026a3e1c87b0b2abaf07f-1d46a2073097bdb6b7b6f6fba60e4525ca0bf2d1165026a3e1c87b0b2abaf07f-Fedora-14-comps.xml'
<jmatthews> preethi, that long string is what createrepo tried to use
<jmatthews> I think it got it because /var/lib/pulp/repos/released...... had repodata for that repo previously
<jmatthews> when you created the new repo pulp used the existing directory and ran a createrepo on what we thought would be empty
* lzap-afk is now known as lzap
<jmatthews> I'm not 100% sure how the rest of this error manifested
* tstrachota has quit (Quit: Leaving)
<jmatthews> preethi_lt, would you file a bug on this, and include all of the pulp.log around this error in the bz?
* jrist-afk is now known as jrist
<jmatthews> preethi_lt, the short term fix was to delete the repo and re-create it
