Uyuni Server: Some packages failed to update

[juliogonzalez]

Description of the problem

If you try to update to 2021.09, and get the following:

# zypper up
> Loading repository data...
> Reading installed packages...
>
> The following 6 package updates will NOT be installed:
> mgr-osa-dispatcher python3-mgr-osa-common python3-mgr-osa-dispatcher
> python3-rhnlib python3-suseRegisterInfo suseRegisterInfo Nothing to do.
> ata-oxy-uyuni01:/home/simon # zypper up mgr-osa-dispatcher
> Loading repository data...
> Reading installed packages...
> There is an update candidate for 'mgr-osa-dispatcher' from vendor
> 'obs://build.opensuse.org/systemsmanagement:Uyuni', while the current
> vendor is 'SUSE LLC https://www.suse.com/'. Use 'zypper install
> mgr-osa-dispatcher-4.3.1-1.2.uyuni1.noarch' to install this candidate.
> Resolving package dependencies...
> Nothing to do.

Or:

# zypper lu --all

That's happening because of an openSUSE Leap 15.3 bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190851

Workaround

Stop the services:

spacewalk-service stop

And then run:

zypper in --allow-vendor-change mgr-osa-dispatcher python3-mgr-osa-common python3-mgr-osa-dispatcher python3-rhnlib python3-suseRegisterInfo suseRegisterInfo Uyuni-Server-release 

Then finally start the services:

spacewalk-service start

This way the packages will come again from Uyuni.
