Name of RPM-package differs between package-view and repository

[cazzen2k4]

Problem:
After uploading a rpm-package to Katello, the name differs between what you see in the package-view of the product-page and what is found inside the actual repository. The url that dnf points to refers to the name of the package-view, which causes an 404 Not found error.

Expected outcome:
Being able to install the rpm-package using DNF.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman 3.4.0 & Katello 4.6.0

Distribution and version:
RHEL 8

Other relevant data:
Name in package-view of product-page.

Name in actual repository.

Output from DNF.

Looks like the package was renamed after building to the name you uploaded, this name is then taken by Katello / Pulp for one functionality and the original name used in another.

I would classify this as a bug. Can you try to name the file to splunk-8.1.12-4eb558a8f0b7.x86_64.rpm before uploading and verify this would work? Afterwards filing a bug with this information would be the next step.

Hi,

Thank you for the fast response on this!

Renaming the file to anything.rpm doesn’t change the name in Katello’s package-view nor in the repository. It basically doesn’t do any difference.

[cazzen2k4]

I have tried uploading it via the katello gui and hammer, but no difference there. Is the name of the RPM uploaded based of the filename or some type of metadata information? Since, changing the filename doesn’t change the name when being uploaded.

I’ve upgraded to Foreman 3.5.1 and Katello 4.7.0 today but the problem still persist. We are still unable to install this rpm since it adds ‘linux-2.6’- to the rpm-package name.

I noticed today that someone else had experienced the same issue:

RPM packages renamed when manually uploaded

Hello, Problem: we have a RPM Repository where we upload manually rpm packages from a Vendor. The uploaded file name is “gskcrypt64-8.0.55.29.x86_64.rpm”. In the Webinterface Repo–>Packages we se the following name “gskcrypt64-8.0-55.29.x86_64”. But when we do a “dnf install gskcrypt64” one a RHEL8 box we get an error 404 for the URL “https://foreman/pulp/repos/company/Library/custom/product/exampleRepo/Packages/g/gskcrypt64-8.0-55.29.x86_64.rpm”. When I open the Repo in the browser I can …

I also have this exact problem when trying to use the rpm package provided from Splunk. Does anyone have any workaround for this issue? Where can I file a bug report?

[tedevil]

Also hit this problem once when adding a package to a custom repo from a source that did not provide their own repo. Never figured out what the problem was though but it was just a “nice to have” thing I never put any time to solve it. Figured someone did something wrong when creating the rpm. On thing is for sure though, the uploaded filename of the rpm seems to be ignored. Instead it is the cpio name inside of the rpm that is used.

This is being tracked in Bug #35952: RPM packages renamed when manually uploaded leading to 404s on dnf - Katello - Foreman

[anonamoose]

So the bugzilla page says there’s now a hotfix for Satellite. How long until this makes its way to foreman?

Thanks for bumping this. The BZ says pulp-rpm-3.18.13 has the fix. Katello 4.7 should be able to pull in the updated packages (http://koji.katello.org/releases/yum/pulpcore-3.21/el8/x86_64/python39-pulp-rpm-3.18.13-1.el8.noarch.rpm). Katello 4.6 is on older pulpcore versions so the fix won’t be compatible there.

On 4.7 you can try yum update followed by a foreman-installer run to make sure any required migrations run and services restart if needed.
