Community,
We’ve found an incompatibility between python3.12-pulp-rpm-3.32.9 and the older pulp-rpm bindings that are in the Katello repository. Please use python3.12-pulp-rpm-3.32.5-1.el9.noarch.rpm instead for now. There are no migrations between the newer and older version, so if you need to downgrade, it should be safe to do so.
If you are using the newer version, the older pulp-rpm client bindings will fail to create repositories. The error you will see is:
ArgumentError: package_signing_fingerprint cannot be nil
I am working on getting the newer client bindings updated: Update pulp_rpm_client to 3.32.9 and pulpcore_client to 3.85.11 by ianballou · Pull Request #13265 · theforeman/foreman-packaging
