After the fix for issue #4529 was applied to Pulp 2, zchunk metadata is no longer synchronized from repositories resulting in stale zchunk files in the repodata directories. Gzip metatada is updated correctly, but Fedora 30 is synchronizing stale zchunk files from the Pulp server resulting in a broken repository. What is the correct way to purge zchunk metadata from synchronized repositories? Configuring DNF on Fedora 30 to not use zchunk metadata results in a working repository. Zchunk files also found in the EPEL 7 repository. This problem has been observed on Satellite 6.6.1.
