Problem:
When I create a CV with dependencies solved turned on and filter out a known dependency, the dependency is still missing from the CV.
Expected result:
All dependencies are available for the host
**Versions"
Katello 4.3.1, foreman-3.1.3
This is how I tested the solve dependencies function
Check what dependencies are installed with a package, in my case I used vim.
It had about 5 dependencies, I uploaded all of them to an empty repository using the “upload package” function in the user interface.
From this I then created a CV which I equipped with the exclude filter vim-* and turned on solve dependencies.
Now the filter shows me that I have filtered out everything except vim itself.
Now I would expect when I build a new cv version that as described the solve dependencies feature adds back those packages I filtered out with vim-*.
But this does not happen.
I created a content view with a filter that includes only vim-enhanced and turned on dependency solving. The result was a CVV with only vim-enhanced, similarly to what you mentioned.
It appears to be a bug with uploaded RPMs because I wasn’t able to reproduce the same issue by filtering in vim-enhanced from the entire AlmaLinux AppStream + BaseOS repos. In that case, dep solving worked.
