Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Systems previously registered in Red Hat Network (RHN) and re-registered to System Engine resulted in errors when adding package groups via katello-agent. This was due to failure to bind repositories because the RHN repositories do not have repofiles. This fix skips these repositories in katello-agent and allows the package groups to be added.

Description Corey Welton 2012-02-11 03:40:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
User has option to add Package Groups via radio button in the Systems > $system > Packages menu, but attempting to add groups doesn't actually seem to work.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sync RHEL 6.2 content, promote it, etc., etc.
2. Register a system to server using subscription-manager and subscribe to your RH content repo(s). Download a sample package or two from katello server just to make sure everything is functioning as expected.
3. Set up katello-agent on client; again, make sure it is functional.
4. On the client box, attempt, but do not complete, 'yum groupinstall "Development Tools"'; observe that yum recognises the group name and performs deps work
5. In UI, navigate the Systems > System > Packages
6. Choose the Package groups radio button.
7. Enter "Development Tools" in the textbox and click +Add
  
Actual results:
Adding Package Group...
Add Package Group Error

Expected results:
Package group can be added.

Additional info:

Likewise, Package groups (the one[s] you tried to add) cannot be -Remove'd

Comment 2 Corey Welton 2012-02-14 03:23:20 UTC 
I'm not 100% sure how serious this issue is; there may be a misconfiguration on my end that is triggering this. But I'm thinking gofer should probably catch the error.
Comment 3 Jeff Ortel 2012-02-22 20:39:50 UTC 
There are two things going on here.  First, the rhnplugin YUM plugin is raising an exception which appears to have nothing to do with the katello agent.  Second, the rhnplugin defines a YUM repo with a repofile=None.  The katello agent needs to be tweaked to handle this when it's generating the enabled repositories report.
Comment 4 Todd Sanders 2012-02-29 14:53:05 UTC 
Spoke with BK, and we don't believe this is a blocker.  Typically users will *not* be using both RHN and RHSM at the same time on the same system.
Comment 6 Jeff Ortel 2012-08-16 16:44:33 UTC 
This appears to have been fix by commit: e7b842ecf80f18f9f4519fbbc7714aa33f993bfe
Comment 7 Mike McCune 2012-08-27 20:15:37 UTC 
I'll take it from here and make sure that commit gets in to CFSE 1.1
Comment 9 Corey Welton 2012-10-04 16:49:41 UTC 
QE Verified -- UI indicates package group has been installed and goferd logs confirm it.
