Problem:
When trying to synchronize the official “Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS RPMs 8” repository the synchronization task fails with the following error:

Error message: the server returns an error

Response headers: {"date"=>"Thu, 22 Apr 2021 06:12:23 GMT", "server"=>"gunicorn/20.0.4", "content-type"=>"application/json", "vary"=>"Accept,Cookie", "allow"=>"GET, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS", "x-frame-options"=>"SAMEORIGIN", "content-length"=>"44", "via"=>"1.1 hostname.fqdn", "connection"=>"close"}
Response body: {"base_path":["This field must be unique."]}

Expected outcome:

Hi folks,

If you’re on Katello 3.18, try this patch out: https://github.com/Katello/katello/commit/b4ff8a49f1489642cb71edde3587afb46d3a6825.patch

If you’re on Katello 4.0, try this patch out: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/Katello/katello/pull/9193.patch

The Katello 4.0 patch contains a bunch of test file updates that won’t exist on your production machines. Just skip the “can’t find file to patch” errors for all of the /test/fixtures/vcr_cassettes/... files.

Let me know if you have any troubles with the patch or if it doesn’t help. These patches will be included in the next point releases of both Katello 3.18 and 4.0.

Did any of you have failed or canceled tasks relating to these repositories before seeing this error?

Hello,
sorry I cant apply the patch at the moment as we did a new installation from scratch with Foreman 2.4/Katello 4.0.
At the moment the offical RedHat repositories are synced without a problem.

If the error appears again, we will apply the patch.

Thank you already for your help. And good to see that help is provided via the forum

Best Regards,
