Pulp fails with cryptic error message when trying to sync an inconsistent repository that has different set of packages in metadata files (e.g. primary.xml and other.xml).

The error message provided by Pulp is:

'\\xff\\xff\\xff\\xff\\xb0!\\x99\\x07'

Whole error:

Sync Incomplete

Please fix Pulp to provide some meaningful error messages.

This issue needs a specific reproducer. Please post commands that a developer could use to reproduce the issue. A pulp-smash showing the error would also work.

Feel free to close this one if it's a duplicate.

Brian, you were on the original ticket with the issue. You know that I'm not the person who hit the issue and thus I have no reproducer. I opened the bug just to let Pulp team officially know about the issue so the bug can be triaged and ideally even fixed. If you need a reproducer for every reported Pulp issue then I'm afraid that overwhelming majority of bugs won't be ever fixed.

From the information provided this looks like a duplicate so I'm closing and marking as a duplicate.

tmlcoch: Every bug to be fixed needs to be reproduced. If you don't have a reproducer that is OK; sometimes I observe things that I don't have a clear reproducer for. Generally, bugs reported to Pulp need to be of the highest quality because that gives developers an opportunity to provide the best/quickest fixes. To that end, I recommend reading about how to write a good bug report: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
