Problem:
When syncing a yum repository located at /var/lib/pulp/imports/bnerickson_net/el/7 on the Foreman/Katello host itself, Katello is removing one of the RPMs: xe-guest-utilities-7.30.0-11.x86_64.rpm
Before performing a manual sync, I re-added the RPM, re-signed it with the repo’s GPG key, and re-created the repo (with createrepo):
# ls -l /var/lib/pulp/imports/bnerickson_net/el/7/x86_64/
total 5204

After performing a manual complete sync within Foreman:

The Katello Sync task indicates that the RPM is being associated and then also un-associated:
No content added.
Total steps: 17/17
--------------------------------
Associating Content: 1/1
Downloading Artifacts: 1/1
Downloading Metadata Files: 5/5
Parsed Packages: 9/9
Skipping Packages: 0/0
Un-Associating Content: 1/1
I’ve tried removing the product and underlying repo, deleting the orphaned content with foreman-rake katello:delete_orphaned_content RAILS_ENV=production --trace and re-adding the product/repo to no avail. Is there a Katello repo option I can enable to force Katello NOT to remove RPMs? Is this special behavior because the RPMs are located in the “imports” folder? How can I find out why the RPM is being un-associated?
Expected outcome:
Katello performs local repo synchronization without removing any RPMs in the local yum repository. OR, Katello throws an error if it removes an RPM (if configured to do so) with the reason why it removed the RPM.
