Subject: [Pulp-list] syncing RHEL5 repositories
Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 20:41:29 +0000
I’m able to sync RHEL5 repositories to Pulp 2.6.1, but I get a checksum error when I try a ‘yum update’ on a RHEL5 host:

[Errno -3] Error performing checksum

I found a few threads from a couple of years ago stating that this was apparently an issue with the repository being published with sha256. I’ve tried re-creating my repositories with —checksum-type=sha1, but no luck. I checked repomd.xml, I still see sha256 listed. Any advice?

Here’s my repo create:

# pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id=rad-5Client --relative-url="" --generate-sqlite=true --serve-http=true --retain-old-count=2 --remove-missing=true --checksum-type=sha1 --description="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Client - Updates" --feed=https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/workstation/5/5Client/x86_64/os/ --feed-ca-cert=/etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem --feed-cert=/etc/pki/pulp/content/Workstation-Entitlement.pem --feed-key=/etc/pki/pulp/content/Workstation-Entitlement.pem

Thanks,
Reece
