Ubuntu with subscription manager

Support
1

Problem:
I’m trying to use subscrition manager with Ubuntu 20.04.
Everything looks fine so far on client side.
I’m able to install and update packages from subscribed repositories.
But I’m wondering, if I should see some “Installable Errata” in foreman?
There I see always 0, even if there are packages to update.

Expected outcome:
I would like to see the number of installable updates, like it is for RedHat.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
foreman-proxy-2.3.3-1.el7.noarch

Hi!
Errata support for Debian and Ubuntu is not yet included into upstream Foreman/Katello.
You should have a look at orcharhino which is a commercially supported downstream product of Foreman/Katello like Satellite6. orcharhino provides errata support for Debian and Ubuntu.

Hi,
thank you, then I don’t need to investigate further… :slight_smile:

You can keep an eye on the Debian errata support Katello PR. Unfortunately this feature is dependent on a Postgres extension that is not yet finished before it can be merged to Katello. As a result, this has been an open PR for quite some time (and will probably remain so for quite some time yet).
