RHBA-2018:2550 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Satellite 6.3 packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Satellite.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating environments.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• There was a critical Pulp maintenance routine that never executed. This update adds a weekly cron schedule to ensure execution. (BZ#1609928)
• The Pulp regenerate applicability of consumer tasks took several minutes to complete. This update improves execution times. (BZ#1573892)
• With a large installation of around 20,000 content hosts, the Applicable Package List froze and the action consumed more resources than was necessary. (BZ#1608597)
• Uploading a package to a repository produced the error: NoMethodError: undefined method `to_hash'. (BZ#1583545)
• Host registration failed with the error: "Validation failed: Host has already been taken". (BZ#1605188)
• During a Content View publish, the Puppet module completed publishing before yum, causing provisioning problems. (BZ#1579381)
• The foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup scripts did not remove tasks from foreman_tasks_locks table. (BZ#1585890)
• Docker registry sync did not use an HTTP proxy configuration, which left no route to the host for new Docker registries within a network. (BZ#1333595)
• When a custom certificate had non-unicode characters, users received UnicodeEncodeError during the CapsuleGenerateAndSync task. (BZ#1449418)
• The katello-restore script was not restoring full incremental backups. (BZ#1497858)
• While running katello-backup with a cron job, sudo required a tty. (BZ#1540382)
• Copying the activation key resulted in only a partial copy, the missing configuration information then caused failure with "undefined method" and Internal Server Error. (BZ#1553338)
• Trying to update the host produced error: ERF42-6324 [Foreman::Exception]: Could not find network dvportgroup-56 on VMWare compute resource. (BZ#1557613)
• Running bootstrap script to migrate hosts failed with error: Content view cannot be blank. (BZ#1559703)
• The volume canceljobjob logging was reduced. (BZ#1563225)
• Users experienced Tomcat java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded. (BZ#1572604)
• Cannot edit user photos when using LDAP datasource. (BZ#1573243)
• Virtual Datacenter subscription was unavailable to hosts registering again. (BZ#1575056)
• Failed to delete hosts when host name was missing from the Candlepin database. (BZ#1575140)
• The action history of Content Views was missing after upgrading to 6.3. (BZ#1575999)
• Exclude Satellite FQDN and localhost from possible proxying when a user set the foreman http proxy. (BZ#1585069)
• Qpidd deadlocked because of linearstore inactivity timer. (BZ#1588015)
• The foreman-rake katello:regenerate_repo_metadata command failed with "NoMethodError: undefined method `in_default_view' for #<Array:0x000000000ce126f0>". (BZ#1589646)
