Not included channels losing packages

[jonmert]

Hi,

I set up a new spacewalk server.

5 channels

• ch1 --> repo1
• ch2 --> repo1
• ch3 --> repo2
• ch4 --> repo2
• ch_daily --> repo1&+ repo2

by running SPACEWALK_PASS=<SECURE> SPACEWALK_USER=<USER> /opt/tools/errata_import.pl --server localhost --errata errata.latest.xml --include-channels ch_daily --rhsa-oval=/tmp/com.redhat.rhsa-all.xml --publish
the erata are created, but ch1-4 are loosing some packages (maybe the ones with newly created erata).

Please let me know, if you need more information.

Merry christmas.

This is the debug. Log. Maybee an configuration issue on my site?

Hello,

while the excerpt from the debug log looks OK, I think it shouldn't have published to those channels in the first place since you specified --include-channels.

Could you please post the full debug log so that I can also have a look at the initialisation phase?
Thanks!

Hi @stevemeier

please see attached log. debug.log

Before erata import package count:
centos7-parent 0
Sub-Channel ch_daily 11107
Sub-Channel ch1 10097
Sub-Channel ch2 10097
Sub-Channel ch3 1010
Sub-Channel ch4 1010

After erata import package count:
Sub-Channel ch_daily 11107
Sub-Channel ch1 7424
Sub-Channel ch2 7424
Sub-Channel ch3 38
Sub-Channel ch4 38

Hi @jonmert

I think I understand what is going on here. While --include-channels makes sure that only the certain channels are scanned, the removal part does not check wether the channel is in scope and may therefore go "out of bounds".

I have added code to check that in the attached version. Could you give that a try and post your results here? Thanks!

Hi @stevemeier

works as expected. Now only the included channel is touched. Thank you very much.
