Issue #833
closed
older errata units may have 'null' in database for pkglist package epoch
Status:
CLOSED - CURRENTRELEASE
Description
During testing of a different patch, Justin Sherrill discovered that some errata were not being applied to systems. This was only occurring for errata with package lists that did not contain an epoch. Example metadata:
<package arch="noarch" name="foo-package" release="8.el7ev" src="foo-package.src.rpm" version="1.0.9">
<filename>foo-package.noarch.rpm</filename>
</package>
Note the lack of "epoch" in the package XML attributes.
Pulp should default to use '0' when the epoch does not exist.

.
treat 'epoch' as '0' when it does not exist or is null
Some updateinfo.xml metadata does not contain the
epochfield in package records. In these cases, Pulp will not be able to find the appropriate RPM.In these cases, we can assume that the epoch should be '0'. This allows Pulp to find the RPM when applying packages to a system.
