Description

Versions:

  • Foreman 2.5.2
  • Katello 4.1.1
  • pulp-rpm-3.13.3

Upstream: http://lon.mirror.rackspace.com/almalinux/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/repodata/.

I am seeing filelists not being parsed correctly for Alma Linux repositories. Within Katello UI, I have checked a random sample of packages from all of the Alma repositories I have sync'd (18 in total, x86_64, sources and debug-x86_64 for each of baseos, appstream, highavailability, powertools, extras and devel), and none of them list any files. For comparison, CentOS 8 Stream RPMS do list files.

The generated filelist served up by katello contains each of the packages in the repo but with no package contents. For example, the upstream baseos filelist is 2MB whereas the generated filelist for the katello-hosted repo is just 105KB and looks like the below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filelists xmlns="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/filelists" packages="1985">
<package pkgid="59c2172d6e423d8adc3248c1983146492471678afccdfae8ab0f66e18a1aaaa5" name="kernel-debug" arch="x86_64">
  <version epoch="0" ver="4.18.0" rel="305.el8"/>
</package>
<package pkgid="c8120b541261d0ad425f369b1da5eef0aaad5883760ad0e149137027d102207c" name="avahi" arch="i686">
  <version epoch="0" ver="0.7" rel="20.el8"/>
</package>

This is breaking system installs which use the local mirrored content, because packages included in the kickstart base package set have dependencies specified using files, and these are all unsatisfied due to the empty filelists. I have triggered resyncs from upstream mirrors without any change in behaviour.

May be related to similar-looking issue #8955 ?
