Actual results:

Expected results:
Completed installation

Additional info:
I understand this is probably off topic as it is really a jpackage repository issue, but as there doesn't seem to be a way to contact anyone associated with jpackage.org, and Spacewalk is dependent on jpackage, I'm opening this problem here (and hoping that someone can help).

If you Google www.jpackage.org and look at the repository, it says the following, and you can see what was on that page as of Apr 3:
This is Google's cache of http://www.jpackage.org/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Apr 3, 2013 18:23:35 GMT.

2. above really looks like this:

[root@athlonz yum.repos.d]# cat jpackage-generic.repo 
[jpackage-generic]
name=JPackage generic
#baseurl=http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/pub/jpackage/5.0/generic/free/
mirrorlist=http://www.jpackage.org/mirrorlist.php?dist=generic&type=free&release=5.0
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc

The formatting in the submission is a little off.

I also tried:

[root@athlonz yum.repos.d]# cat jpackage-generic.repo 
[jpackage-generic]
name=JPackage generic
baseurl=http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/pub/jpackage/5.0/generic/free/
#mirrorlist=http://www.jpackage.org/mirrorlist.php?dist=generic&type=free&release=5.0
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc

Same results.

I dropped an email to Fernando about the domain's DNS.

You still reference the key here. You can set gpgcheck=0 or grab a cached version of this URL from Google, put it to local file, and point gpgkey to it.

I hope the issue is transient, so I'm not updating the HowToInstall page just now. If the problem persists, we will likely put the jpackage.asc to Spacewalk wiki and point the baseurl to the mirror to keep installations running.

The www.jpackage.org site is back.

Comment 5 Eric Herget 2017-09-28 18:08:47 UTC
This BZ closed some time during 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7.  Adding to 2.7 tracking bug.
