Description

Using a repository pointed to https://jlsherrill.fedorapeople.org/fake-repos/needed-errata/ and an activation key containing the subscription for that Product/Repository.

When working with an EL8 client, the following workflow works to show available errata:

  • Register an EL8 client with sub-man using an activation key
  • yum install walrus-0.71
  • yum update show the correct results
  • hammer host errata list --host `hostname` shows the correct results

The workflow that does not appear to work:

  • Register with sub-man to --environment="Library"
  • Attach subscription through the UI
  • subscription-manager refresh
  • yum install walrus-0.71
  • yum update shows no update available
  • hammer host errata list --host `hostname` does not show available errata
