Description

I think katello-agent tasks should always either succeed or fail and never lock.

Adding an additional data point:

[root@pipe-katello-server-nightly-centos8 agent]# hammer host package remove --host $HOSTNAME --packages gorilla

Here you can see I simply tried to remove a package that was not installed and that locked up my ability to perform any other tasks.
