Satellite: How a stuck task can be removed. Always open a support case. (solution)
On my home lab RH Satellite 6 I had a minor issue at first, Kickstart 7.6 stopped to sync.
This week I decided to drop RHEL 7.6 content, and now the sync issue became a major issue. The task to remove the repository failed due to the old locks.
I opened a support case and recorded the commands performed by the Red Hat Engineer Amar, Huchchanavar who solved the issue.
to avoid support issues: open a support ticket, and ask whether the actions below are save to perform.

Set
dynflow_allow_dangerous_actionsYesOn the CLI

- reposyncs do not have download-policy immediate set:
'YOUR_VALID_ORG_GOES_HERE' is a fake label to make it generic, which you have to change to make it work for your situation.
hammer repository list --organization-label='YOUR_VALID_ORG_GOES_HERE'|\ awk '{print $1}' | egrep -v '\||ID' | \ less | \ perl -ne 'print;chomp;system("hammer repository update --download-policy immediate --id $_")'
*Errors to ignore:* Could not update the repository: Validation failed: Download policy Cannot set attribute download_policy
