API call errata.publish adds packages of wrong Red Hat Enterprise Linux release into Red Hat Network Satellite channel
Issue
- If we use "errata.publish" API to add cloned errata (which is applicable to multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases) in a channel then wrong packages are added in channel.
- Using the Satellite API for publishing errata. If a Red Hat erratum applies to both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and it is published to channels cloned from both, the errata.publish API inserts both the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 versions of each package into both cloned channels.
Environment
- Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3.x
- Cloned errata that apply to more than one RHEL release
- RHN API call errata.publish
