Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1412486

Description of problem:
After upgrading to satellite 6.2.6, the repositories package count went unreasonably less in the Web UI

For example: Software collection repo only shows 30 packages

After investigating further I notice a bug in "import_all" function.

Katello::Rpm.import_all is fetching rpms from Pulp by chunk (default 100 units per chunk) and call the "sync_repository_associations" function on every chunk which breaks the repository associations in Katello. That is because "sync_repository_associations" will delete the existing associations that are not in the chunk.

For example:
Existing associations = [1, 2, 3, 4]

Pulp chunk 1 = [1, 2, 3, 5]

1. Will be added
   new associations = Pulp chunk 1 - Existing associations
   [5] = [1, 2, 3, 5] - [1, 2, 3, 4]

1. Will be deleted
   old association = Existing associations - Pulp chunk 1
   [4] = [1, 2, 3, 4] - [1, 2, 3, 5]

As a result the existing associations will become [1, 2, 3, 5].

Now Pulp chunk 2 = [6, 7, 8]

1. Will be deleted
   old association = Existing associations - Pulp chunk 2
   [1, 2, 3, 5] = [1, 2, 3, 5] - [6, 7, 8]

As a result the existing associations will now become [6, 7, 8].

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.6. Could also happen in the earlier versions because customer complain that it happened multiple times in different versions.

How reproducible:
Run satellite-installer --upgrade

Or

foreman-rake katello::reindex
