Issue #430
closed
The pulp-profile-update yum client plugin does not clearly report errors to users
Description
I noticed that running yum install <package> does not trigger a consumer profile update. This causes applicability data to be incorrect in the Pulp server. Restarting goferd is a workaround to getting the profile reported.

I am using yum-3.4.3-146.fc21.noarch, if that matters.

It turns out that our plugin is printing this error through the yum conduit:
Peer certificate commonName does not match host, expected localhost.localdomain, got guava.rdu.redhat.com
It would be nice if this was more clearly an error in reporting the profile.

Turns out that this was user error. I hadn't edited the server line in the /etc/pulp/.../consumer.conf file, but I had in the /root/.pulp/consumer.conf file. The yum plugin only reads the one from /etc/.../. However, I do think we have an issue here in reporting problems to users. Note the printout in the middle here about the peer certificate commonName not matching:
rbarlow@guava ~/d/p/pulp_rpm> (pulp_rpm) sudo yum install grinder_test_package-4.0

I think it would be best if we could make that error message more obviously tell the user that the plugin failed to report the profile to Pulp. I didn't even notice it was an error at all when I first ran it. It would have been better if it said something like "Error in reporting profile to Pulp: <error_message_here>".
I'm lowering the severity since it turns out that nothing is really broken.
