Description

To reproduce:

  • Pulp 3: sync/publish/distribute RHEL8 Appstream (which has a group "conflicts-appstream" which has an empty packagelist)
  • Pulp 2: sync from the repo above, observe the following error

Pulp 3 uses libcomps to generate a comps.xml file and it doesn't generate empty XML elements.
Pulp 2 expects packagelist to be always present, even if empty.
It also seems to be a mandatory however it is according to the unofficial spec.

While we are figuring out where to fix it (hopefully in libcomps), here is patch to workaround the problem if you really need it.
It ignores empty groups, they likely do not bring much value, so as a workaround I think it's fine to skip them.

Configure createrepo_c to always generate packagelist element within a package group.

Pulp 2 relies on the packagelist element being present, even if it's empty. It also seems to be a mandatory element according to this unofficial spec https://pagure.io/rpm-metadata/blob/master/f/fedora/comps-schema/comps.dtd#_6

Before this fix, the packagelist element would only be generated if there is at least one package in a group.
