Looks like Suites and Components is hard-coded. I doubt I’ll be able to figure out how to get it to properly read anything out of the foreman server config, but if it helps anyone, that’s where it is.

Sorry I forgot the details on this step, adding a bit more info.
Download the certificate rpm package from katello on the same debian/ubuntu server you are using for building. then convert that package from RPM to a DEB. In the RPM there is basically just one bash script (the one in my previous comment)
replace that line with the following:
$ sudo alien -d katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm
$ sudo chown $USER:$GROUPS katello-ca-consumer-foreman.domain.com_1.0-2_all.deb
$ sudo apt install -f katello-ca-consumer-foreman.domain.com_1.0-2_all.deb
after successful installation, im getting below error.
File “/usr/lib/apt/methods/katello”, line 31

Hi, even if you subscribe the system to katello, you won’t be able to manage packages from it. There’s a problem with katello ddbb and seems fixing it is not really a priority for now. (I’m also waiting for it, btw ) .
There’s a workaround via a PR, but you need to rebuild whole foreman+katello from scratch and it’s strongly discouraged/not ready for production environments.

Sorry for the bad news.
I was able to build current git version by applying these changes (… and then copying contrib/debian one level higher) and running “debuild -b -uc -us”.

As I mentioned (probably in another thread), we (ATIX) are currently working to release our debian / ubuntu packages including subscription-manager, apt-transport-katello and katello-upload-profile.
