Foreman 1.21/1.22 - Ubuntu 18.04 - Incompatible dependencies versions for ssh remote execution plugin

Support
1

Problem:
ruby-smart-proxy-remote-execution-ssh-core Incompatible version

Expected outcome:
ruby-smart-proxy-remote-execution-ssh-core to be updated to be compatible with ruby-smart-proxy-dynflow-core (<= 0.2.2-1).
Right now it only supports ruby-smart-proxy-dynflow-core (< 0.2.0), which is not available in Ubuntu 18.04

Foreman and Proxy versions:
1.21.3 & 1.22

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
ruby-smart-proxy-dynflow-core 0.2.2-1
ruby-smart-proxy-remote-execution-ssh-core 0.1.3-1
Other relevant data:
foreman-proxy fails to start after enabling ssh remote execution plugin

Hi there,

same on debian 9.
Only solution is to remove RE.

I think the package needs to be updated to meet requirements.

3

What plugin repository are you using? ruby-smart-proxy-remote-execution-ssh-core was replaced by ruby-foreman-remote-execution-core a long time ago.

4

Hi,

i am using the official deb repository.
But this is a upgraded version 1.21 -> 1.22 -> 1.23

Do you know when the changed happened?

5

Sorry, this are the current installed debs (selected from foreman-installer, if i want to add RE Plugin and Proxy):

ii ruby-foreman-remote-execution 1.8.2-1 all Foreman Remote Execution Plugin
ii ruby-foreman-remote-execution-core 1.1.6-1 all Foreman remote execution - core bits
ii ruby-smart-proxy-remote-execution-ssh 0.2.1-1 all SSH remote execution provider for Foreman smart proxy

I have just removed all remote packages and ran foreman-installer again to avoid old packages:

That looks like too new remote execution core and too old foreman tasks core

As far as i can see, i’ve gut the recent packages installed:

ii ruby-foreman-tasks 0.15.7-1 all Tasks management engine for Foreman.
ii ruby-foreman-tasks-core 0.2.6-1 all Foreman tasks - core bits
