Plugins » Katello

Suse uses a different datetime format than what Katello currently expects. Instead of a formatted data and time, they use seconds since Epoch. This is preventing Katello from correctly parsing the date, leading to a blank entry.

Further, it looks like the issue happens during or before the values are stored in the katello_errata table.
id | uuid | errata_id | created_at | updated_at | issued | updated | errata_type | severity |
1 | 003a57f6-48e7-4752-aa07-7c62ac288d17 | openSUSE-2017-1284 | 2018-03-19 13:54:40.547011 | 2018-03-19 13:54:40.552124 | | | recommended | moderate |

Example: <issued date="1519129773" />

Verification steps:
1. Sync a suse repository that contains errata.

2. Check that the issued and updated dates (if applicable) show up correctly in the UI/CLI/API
