Description

If you enter bad data in Katello on the repository update page or via hammer or API, you may be able to get into a state where the Katello DB is updated, but Pulp does not accept the data. You're then left in a state where Katello and Pulp have a mismatch, which can cause issues.

To reproduce this issue, you may need to revert https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/7673. There are probably other ways to do it too (perhaps by stopping pulp during a repo update), but I'm not sure how.

app/lib/actions/katello/repository/update.rb likely needs to be refactored to not update the attributes during plan phase.
