[Katello] orphaned repos?

Support
1

In my trials with generating a katello node cert using
'node-certs-generate', I eventually did create a product named
'node-certs'. I wish I could give more details, but at some point,
subscribing a katello node to the activation key 'node-installer' which has
a the 'node-certs' product as an attached subscription stopped working. By
that I mean, while the initial registration went ok, the generated cert was
not available.

With that out of the way (sort of), I went about attempting to
troubleshoot. It seemed logical to me to go ahead and remove the
activation key 'node-installer', and remove the product 'node-certs'.
Activation key removal was no issue, but upon attempting to remove the
'node-certs' product from the WebUI, I encountered a significant delay
followed by no apparent effect. Attempting to move forward, I renamed the
'node-certs' product to 'BADPRODUCT' and let 'node-certs-generate' go ahead
and create a new 'node-certs' product. This worked without issue and
performed as expected when subscribing my katello node, eventually allowing
me to start syncing to the node.

I'm still unable to remove the product 'BADPRODUCT' (formerly 'node-certs')
via the WebUI or the command-line (for the record, performing a
katello-service restart did not help). So, I tried removing each repo
listed under the product…no luck.

Here's what I'm seeing for a product list:

katello product list --org ORG

katello product delete --id 1393969264522 --org ORG

Ok, so maybe I should try to delete the repos contained in the product
first? Here’s a list of my repos:

Repos with ID’s 19 and 20 are the culprits in this case, so let’s try to
delete those:

katello repo delete --id 19 --org ORG

Content with id 1393969266106 could not be found.

katello repo delete --id 20 --org ORG

Content with id 1393970754890 could not be found.

So, assuming that these repos have somehow been orphaned, what can be done
about deleting them?

Thanks,

Hello Heig,

It sounds to me like when you initially tried to delete the Repository, it
failed deletion in one of the backend engines (pulp) while it had already
deleted it in another backend engine (candlepin). I'm guessing that pulp
threw an error during the initial deletion that caused this. Would you be
able to send me a katello-debug?

Thanks,

-Justin
