Description

Please have katello verify checksums of rpms by default to keep from having issues where rpms are not properly download.

[09:12] <jsherrill> so i believe there is an option on the yum importer in pulp called 'verify_checksum'
[09:12] <jsherrill> that defaults to false
[09:12] <jsherrill> so if pulp downloads a file, it doesn't verify its expected checksum
[09:13] <jsherrill> which can lead to situations like this.....
[09:13] <jsherrill> set that on by default, which i thought we already had
[09:18] <jsherrill> but you would edit /etc/pulp/server/plugins.conf.d/yum_importer.json
[09:19] <jsherrill> and add: "verify_checksum": true,
[09:19] <jsherrill> and then do a katello-service restart

Was this a custom repository or one that I could test out myself? From inspecting the Pulp documentation checksum verification appears to be on by default and when I tried to test this locally I was not able to get to a test situation since Pulp also checks and verifies the size of the RPM before the checksum.

This occurred on the Centos OS repo I was syncing. I believe it happened because something went wrong with my system while syncing that put the rpms into an invalid state (I manually ran md5sums on the bad packages and they did not match the upstream md5sums I was syncing to) and a new sync did not correct the problem.

A good trial would be to modify an rpm on your local filesystem so it no longer passes the checksum value, and then sync again.

I am still seeing proper behavior. Here is my test scenario:

When looking at your output:

The output I got was:

New packages: 1 (7.96 KB).
Failed to download 1 package.

What does this mean? I would expect the result would be that the invalid checksum file on your system would be replaced with the valid file you tried to download. But as I look at the message, it looks like all it says is that it failed to download package so there is no way to fix the package? It's not clear to me how this is truly working.

Workflow I would like to see with Katello:

1. Sync fails for unknown reason, files left in inconsistent states
2. Run sync again - sync sees that some files were downloaded incorrectly so replaces these with correct versions
3. The local repo is fully functional again.

You can click the 'More Details' link or if the sync has already occurred, you can go to the tasks page and go into the sync itself. Within the details of the Task information will be a large JSON structure that comes from Pulp and includes the reason for the failed package.

In the case of a checksum issue, Pulp attempts to validate the checksum of the package against the metadata and if they are different it does not keep that package around. Thus, the way to fix that type of issue is fix the origin checksum of the package and then re-sync it. Ultimately Pulp controls the entire sync process and how it handles this. We'd need to file a bug and discuss with them if we wanted to change how the sync is being handled.
