Package matching query does not exist
Description
Good Day,
I keep getting this error using the katello plugin -> "*Package matching query does not exist*."
From what i can gather or guess is that the upstream provider has a missing package not part of their repo or repo index is messed up.
This has been asked before, but no one seems to know how to fix it. Is there any way this can be skipped and download the remainder of the packages instead of failing the task?
Al i can think of as a work around is to use reposync and create another local repo then import that into katello. But that would be duplication and a waste of disk space and defeats the purpose of katello.

Hi Riaan,
Can you tell us which version of Katello you're running and point us to the repo URL so we can try to sync and see the problem you're running into?
Thank you

Hi Jonathon,
These are my package versions:
katello-selinux-3.5.0-1.el7.noarch katello-common-3.18.1-1.el7.noarch katello-default-ca-1.0-1.noarch katello-repos-3.18.1-1.el7.noarch katello-certs-tools-2.7.3-1.el7.noarch tfm-rubygem-katello-3.18.1-1.el7.noarch katello-3.18.1-1.el7.noarch foreman-installer-katello-2.3.1-1.el7.noarch katello-client-bootstrap-1.7.5-1.el7.noarch tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli_katello-0.24.2-1.el7.noarch pulp-katello-1.0.3-1.el7.noarch katello-debug-3.18.1-1.el7.noarch katello-server-ca-1.0-1.noarch
OS: Centos 7
These are the repo's it fails on. I have the full centos list of repo's and they all sync no issues. Just these 2 don't. Been running this server for 2 weeks now testing the sync and these 2 fail consistently . The old repo server is using plain old reposync and does work. have not checked yet if there is issue there that we are not aware of when it syncs.

I am getting the same issue with these repos above (OL7 latest, OL7.9 Base), also on Centos 7 x86, katello-3.18.1-1.el7.noarch, foreman-2.3.2-1.el7.noarch
The issue is a blocker to the deployment of Foreman in my case and transitioning off of Spacewalk, as not being able to sync _latest defies the whole point of system management.
I would speculate that the repo metadata is corrupt in some way, but would suggest that in this scenario it should continue and skip the package in question, rather than terminating the sync.

Collisions are occurring anywhere I have a _base repo in conjunction with a _latest repo. Speculation is that packages occur in both when the _latest is the same as the _base, and this is throwing the exception. Not sure how that should be handled by the back end, but probably better than failing to sync. I've removed all my _base repos and am re-creating the _latest and will re-run a sync and report back.

Closing this as the issue is on the Pulp side and the issue is linked here. We will try to raise priority with pulp developers as well!
