Description of problem:

After importing a repository, importing the distribution fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


# rpm -qa | grep pulp
pulp-admin-0.0.244-5.fc15.noarch
pulp-0.0.244-5.fc15.noarch
pulp-common-0.0.244-5.fc15.noarch
mod_wsgi-3.2-6.pulp.fc15.i686
m2crypto-0.21.1.pulp-5.fc15.i686
pulp-client-lib-0.0.244-5.fc15.noarch

How reproducible:

So far always with this image. Not yet tested with another distribution image.

Steps to Reproduce:

Importing a repository with the following options:

id: 'centos6-x86_64'
name: 'centos6-x86_64'
arch: 'x86_64'
feed: 'http://10.x.x.x/isos/centos6_mount/'

Where /centos6_mount/ is the CentOS DVD 1 iso image mounted via loopback.

If we then run a sync, the sync fails with the follwing exception:

Exception('Cannot read from directory /var/lib/pulp/distributions/ks-CentOS-None-6.0-x86_64',

Traceback is the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pulp/server/tasking/task.py", line 404, in run
    result = self.callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs)

    raise Exception("Cannot read from directory %s" % directory)
Exception: Cannot read from directory /var/lib/pulp/distributions/ks-CentOS-None-6.0-x86_6

Looking into the distributions folder shows:

# ls -l /var/lib/pulp/distributions/
total 4
drwxr-sr-x 2 apache apache 4096 Nov 10 11:23 ks-CentOS--6.0-x86_64

  
Actual results:

Repository is synced but importing distribution fails.

Expected results:

Should get a distribution.

Additional info:

If you need any further details, please let me know.

To me it looks like in one point the python None is mixed into a string, while at the other point (when creating the directory), it's interpreted as an empty string.

Reading the release notes from: http://blog.pulpproject.org/2011/11/08/pulp-community-release-18/ I read:

Distributions now use a new id format: ks-$family-$variant-$version-$arch

So it looks to me as $variant is not yet fully detected and correctly handled.
