Hi I am enjoying this discussion as I want to enroll Ubuntu clients with forman-katello.
I have used a minimal ubuntu vagrant image.
Everything is setup like Maximilian explained for ubuntu clients.
Client is correct registered and can download available packages. Only thing that I am missing (right now) is to see what packages are installed on the client (from foreman).
I know /usr/bin/package-profile-upload should do the job and when running it says only āNo updates performed. See /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more informationā and with logging level on debug /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log shows:
Connection built: host=xxxxx.lan port=443 handler=/rhsm auth=identity_cert ca_dir=/etc/rhsm/ca/ insecure=False.
Also tried frace to see if there is something that is blocking but no luck.
I have seen screenshots where a content host is displaying the packages that are available to that host.
Am I missing something?
Hi,
Need some help registering Ubuntu 20.04 client with foreman. Following steps from [A] .
Steps did so far
- Added Index of /Ubuntu20LTS stable main
- Imported key
- apt update
- apt-get install -y python3-subscription-manager failing with error
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3-subscription-manager : Depends: python3-ethtool but it is not installable
Depends: python3-iniparse but it is not installable
Depends: python3-rpm but it is not installable
Depends: virt-what but it is not installable
[A] : https://apt.atix.de/
This worked after I enabled āUniverseā repo.

Well, seems to be working fine, however Iām a bit surprised nobody mentioned these messages in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log:
ā¦
2022-02-16 22:06:48,143 [WARNING] subscription-manager:180075:MainThread @repolib.py:124 - Configuration file of dnf plugin: ā/etc/dnf/plugins/product-id.confā cannot be read
ā¦
I checked the code and that repolib.py is trying to read yum or dnf plugin configuration which doesnāt exist of course. Did I miss something?
Thanks @Polle for bringing this up.
We will have a look at it and report back to you.
IMHO subscription-manager running on Debian/Ubuntu should not look for dnf/dnf plugin config files.

Small update @Polle
We verified the issue and put it on our TODO.
However, this warning in the log file does not impact the functionality of subscription-manager on both Debian and Ubuntu.

subscription-manager refresh is not updating repositories under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rhsm.sources
I have shared the entire logs in new thread under katello
Hi Melanie and Maximilian,
what happened to the source release plans? I really appreciate the work invested here and would be interested in trying it out, but trusting a binary-only repository is not feasible for our use case.
I didnāt check all the software packages included, but at least subscription-manager is GPLv2-licensed, so binary-only distribution isnāt really a legally viable option if you modified anythingā¦
sorry, we dont have time for this currently.
The sub-man is packaged python code. So, you can unpack it and analyze the code.
Thanks for the quick reply. Will do so!

Hello Maximilian!
Could you please publish a repository for Debian10?
We have several legacy systems and need to manage them.
Thanks in advance!
Apologies for the thread necromancy, but we are also looking for the Debian 10 repository.
We only provide stable and oldstable at oss.atix.de. Debian 10 is EOL. It is possible to receive extended support via payed professional services.
