Unable to sync Wheezy Archive
Description
Hello!
Truly sorry if this is not the place for this bug report.
Unfortunately the company I work for have some old servers left and I need to synchronize the Debian wheezy repository. When trying to sync wheezy repo in katello I get the following error:
@IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/var/cache/pulp/reserved_resource_worker-1@c332pc-katello/ca55db26-f364-40bc-bbac-b450445c56c0/dists/wheezy/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2@
The reason for this error seems to be that the wheezy archive repository doesn't use .bz2 extention, but instead .bz for Packages archive. Pulp looks for Packages.bz2 and not Packages.bz.
I have attached the journalctl log when this happens.

This is the right place.
However i am very sorry, the problem as you describe it is known, but will probably be a nofix. The current mechanism to select the 'best' compression algorithm [0] does not allow for a fallback on 404. Otoh changing the priority might as well break other setups.
Possible solution:
If you mirror those repositories on a local storage, it might be possible to recompress the Packages files yourself, and with the right parameters, they should end up being bit for bit compatible.

Sorry for late response.
I understad, I think the best solution for us is to phase out the old machines instead
Thanks!
