Foreman installer - missing pulpcore-selinux

Support
1

Problem:
Running Forklift playbook luna-devel.yml is failing on error:

Error: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install pulpcore-selinux' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Package[pulpcore-selinux]/ensure: change from 'purged' to 'present' failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install pulpcore-selinux' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do

Step to reproduce

  • Clean virtual machine (in Libvirt) with Centos 7
  • Run ansible-playbook from forklift (latest master)
    ansible-playbook -i,192.168.100.XXX -u root -k playbooks/luna-devel.yml

I tried to install pulpcore-selinux from https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore-selinux but that didn’t help since installer is still trying to install it from yum during installation.

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this issue?

A quick work around is to install it manually from:

http://koji.katello.org/releases/yum/katello-nightly/pulpcore/el7/x86_64/pulpcore-selinux-1.0.0-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

The reason you hit this is because the nightly repositories are in a limbo state due to Katello pipeline’s failing so there are changes in staging environment. You can also switch to using those repositories by setting for a box definition:

foreman_server_repositories_environment: staging
katello_server_repositories_environment: staging
