Hello Stephen, What else can I do or provide to move this issue along.

Hello Stephen, Here is RH’s reply on the query as to how RH Satellite parses RPMs for date base filters. Hi John, I got some information for you. Errata filter based on date does not scan RPMs, but scan errata (update or create) date and exclude/include all rpms which this specific errata contains. Does this help in the process?

Hello Stephen, We mirror the EPEL5 and EPEL7 repositories, but I really don’t know if there are other issues with those or EPEL6. The only reason I stumbled upon this one was due to the fact that the munin update in Sept 2018 now requires conntrack-tools. There may be others, and this also maybe be the only one. I will request from RH the technical details they use when applying date filters in Satellite, maybe with that I can scan the other RPM’s in our mirrors for other hits.

The issue is the interworking of the metatdata in the conntrack-tools RPM and Red Hat Satellite date filters for Content Views. Not sure how familiar you are with Red Hat Satellite, but the data filters are the primary method used to create a cyclical patching schedule and thus patch sets based on date. In Red Hat Satellite, if I specify any date inclusion (Like from January 1, 1970 - October 12, 2018) and point it at the EPEL6 repository the filter does not pick up the conntrack-tools. I opened support case with Red Hat, and with their assistance we have a work around, where we don't specify any Satellite date filters for the EPEL repositories (i.e. Get Everything no matter when released) and yes still keep the Satellite date filters on the official Red Hat repositories used to create the combined Satellite content view. However this work-around does not allow us to recreate a patch content view of EPEL product or patches of any date other than 'today'. Without a date filter we get all EPEL content and patches. This does not work with our Patching paradigm, as we base patch sets on Date. We then use life-cycle management to promote a patch set to Production after it has been vetted on Dev then Test. Red Hat does not support EPEL, and indicated this is not a Satellite issue but a RPM metadata issue with EPEL release process. I will check but I am not sure it is a problem we can solve quickly as I don't know how Satellite categorizes dates currently. Do you also mirror anything from other non Red Hat Network repositories and do they have the problem also? [I am mostly looking to see if we are not setting something up we should or not] Let me know if you need further clarification.
