Can confirm, same issue here… appears only on the host that has Foreman/Katello master installed. All other clients suceed.

Was this a fresh install or an upgrade of the katello-host-tools-tracer package?

The katello server installs python3-future as dependency to python3-pulp-container. katello-host-tools-tracer wants python2-future. Both want to create /usr/bin/futurize.

I guess as python3-future seems to be compatible to python2 the dependency needs to to be updated…

The system that was failing for me also ran katello server and a foreman-proxy. All other hosts installed just fine.

@cintrix84 any chance to have a look at this? You need to install a katello server or at least python3-pulp-container and then katello-host-tools-tracer. That should reproduce the issue.

@gvde

Sure I can try again, where do I get python3-pulp-container, I have never done anything with containers, so some steps would be helpful please.

It’s not about the containers. It’s just about installing that rpm package. python3-pulp-container is in katellos pulpcore repository. Setup the katello repositories as described in the installation docs and install python3-pulp-container (which usually happens if you install katello). Then try to install katello-host-tools-tracer.

Sounds good, thanks for the steps. Will look at this more tomorrow in detail.

Sorry for the delay.

Had a few things come up today, set some time aside Monday to start working on this.

I was able to replicate the problem and talking it over with a few devs, have made the following redmine issue for it:

https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/31187

We will triage it Wed to a release and you can follow it there for updates. Sorry again for the delay.
