+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #836640 +++

The bug was introduced in the fix for 800525.

Because of that change, the local file store for what repos exist on the CDS contains:

$ cat .cds_repo_list 
repos/repos/pulp/pulp/v1/stable/fedora-16/x86_64

The relative URL coming back from the server:

repos/pulp/pulp/v1/stable/fedora-16/x86_64

Since those are not the same, the CDS logic thinks the existing repo on disk was removed and deletes it.

You can see that it's happening in the log on the CDS:

2012-06-29 13:30:28,503 [INFO][worker-0] _delete_removed_repos() @ cdslib.py:400 - Removing old repo [/var/lib/pulp-cds/repos/repos/pulp/pulp/v1/stable/fedora-16/x86_64]

That was seen by synchronizing the CDS twice with no changes to its repositories in the interim.

commit 0ad6606b1d61fd41c8186bc4cd263efdeac7d6da
Author: Jay Dobies <jason.dobies>
Date:   Fri Jun 29 13:51:37 2012 -0400

    836640 - The storage of the relative URL changed so we need to update
    the relative URL checking to match that
