Description

There are several issues with the EL5 katello client installation.

First, the doc at http://www.katello.org/docs//installation/clients.html (google result on "katello-client"), mentions as url for the EL5 client:
yum update -y http://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum//client/RHEL/5Server/x86_64/katello-client-repos-latest.rpm
while going to http://www.katello.org/docs/2.4/installation/clients.html it is more correctly:
yum update -y http://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum/2.4/client/RHEL/5Server/x86_64/katello-client-repos-latest.rpm

Second: the 2.4 client packages are signed with a v4 gpg key, while EL5 only supports v3 (effectively blocking installation unless using the rpm options --nosignature --nodigest). The 2.2 client version is correct in that regard.

Third: the installation of python-gofer-ampq fails (even with the 2.2 client version) because of a dependency on python-amqp (which doesn't exist at all for EL5 since that uses python 2.4). This results in not being able to do remote package management on an EL5 client from within katello.

This looks like it may be an issue from Pulp itself and the packages provided. We will inquire with them and come back with an update.

How was this resolved? I am running into the third issue listed above and would like to get it fixed before I lose all ability to do patches on EL5.

Here are the related errors from my yum update:

python-gofer-amqp-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch from Katello_Client_3_1_-_EL_5_el5_x86_64 has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: python-amqp >= 1.4.5 is needed by package python-gofer-amqp-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch (Katello_Client_3_1_-_EL_5_el5_x86_64)
Error: Missing Dependency: python-amqp >= 1.4.5 is needed by package python-gofer-amqp-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch (Katello_Client_3_1_-_EL_5_el5_x86_64)

Thanks.
