Consequence:
Any kickstart profile rename on RHN Satellite 5.4 causes issues after Satellite upgrade to 5.5. The profile is unusable and any tries to sync the profile fail with a 'kickstart not found' exception and get repeated endlessly
Result:
Renamed kickstart profiles get properly synced to cobbler.

Description of problem: A taskomatic task "KickstartFileSyncTask" will be repeated endlessly for kickstart profiles renamed before upgrade to Satellite 5.5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-taskomatic-1.7.54-100 How reproducible: Deterministic Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a 5.4 Satellite, kickstart profile "profile01" 2. Rename "profile01" to "profile02" 2. Upgrade to Satellite 5.5 3. Check taskomatic & cobbler logs after upgrade Actual results: 1. Taskomatic will endlessly try to run KickstartFileSyncTask for kickstart profile "profile02", leaving messages like: com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.KickstartFileSyncTask - Syncing profile02 in /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log 2. kickstart path for the "profile02" profile will not be updated in cobbler's records. Expected results: 1. Kickstart profile "profile02" will be synced only once. 2. kickstart path for the "profile02" profile will be updated in cobbler's records. Additional info: On Satellite before the upgrade: 1. Kickstart file for "profile01" is at /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizzard/profile01.cfg 2. cobbler's record for "profile01" points to the above file. 3. "profile01" will be renamed to "profile02" 4. Kickstart file for "profile02" will still be /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizzard/profile01.cfg 5. cobbler's record will remain unchanged During the upgrade to Satellite 5.5, content of /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizzard/ will be deleted. After the upgrade to Satellite 5.5, "KickstartFileSyncTask" will wake up. The taskomatic task "KickstartFileSyncTask" does the following: 1. Lists all available kickstart profiles 2. For every kickstart profile, it contacts cobbler and asks for the path to the kickstart file for the kickstart profile. Next, it checks whether the kickstart file is present on the filesystem. If not, it creates this file. In case of "profile02", KickstartFileSyncTask will create the following file: /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizzard/profile02.cfg but will never tell cobbler back that the path to the kickstart file has changed. Next time KickstartFileSyncTask will run, it will do the same procedure for "profile02" again.
