Re: [Spacewalk-list] Errata severity issue - invalid value "Na"

[Avi Miller]

Hi,

Don't mention me, you'll confuse the support team. :) 

Just open an SR stating that there are 30 different errata in updateinfo.xml 
with an incorrect value for the severity field. It doesn't actually matter 
whether the errata shows up in OL6 or OL5, because the affected RPM list takes 
precedence anyway (there is no specificity). 

Cheers,
Avi

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Errata severity issue - invalid value "Na"

[Kalchik, Jeffery]

Good afternoon, Avi.

  I can certainly open an SR problem is a bit more 
encompassing than the one I've been wrangling with, I've found something like 
30 different Oracle erratum with severities of "Na".  ☹

Secondarily, the other question still stands:  why is this particular errata 
attached to OL6 anyway, as it appears to be OL5 specific?  Or make that part of 
the SR as well?

Should I reference you in the SR?

I'll open it up in the morning, bit of a management kerfuffle going on here at 
the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Can you please open an SR so the ULN team can fix the severity field in 
updateinfo.xml?

Thanks,

But the PR posted by me before must be patched further more OR the errata 
information have to be modified so the severity is set to 'none'.

[Spacewalk-list] Errata severity issue - invalid value "Na"

[Kalchik, Jeffery]

Good morning, all (or good afternoon, good evening, etc.)

I've just discovered a rather unfortunate behavior, and I'm not entirely sure 
how I'm going to address it.  I came to discover it when implementing channel 
changes as a result of Oracle changing it's backend channel architecture 
(that's not a bad thing.)  Oracle has implemented a *_latest_archive channel 
for the OL6 and OL7 distributions for pretty obvious reasons.

On creation, and initial repository sync, I discovered the following error in 
/var/log/rhn/reposync/oraclelinux6-x86_64-latest_archive.log:

2018/07/09 12:02:22 -05:00   Errata in repo: 3152.
2018/07/09 12:03:55 -05:00 Syncing 3152 new errata to channel.
2018/07/09 12:04:04 -05:00 ERROR: Invalid severity: Na
2018/07/09 12:04:04 -05:00 ERROR: Invalid severity: Na

After digging for a while, I ended up searching updateinfo.xml.gz from Oracle's 
public yum repository (we have an Oracle Linux subscription, most of these now 
sync through ULN,) and discovered:

ELSA-2007-1165
 Moderate:libexif security update 
Na
Oracle Linux 6

And on looking further into Spacewalk as well has other errata, and the 
Spacewalk API docs, I keep coming up with more questions.

ELSA-2007-1165 looks like it should be an OL5 errata, not an OL6 errata (per 
https://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2007-1165.html.)  I'm not sure why it's 
even listed in the OL6 updateinfo data.  All of the packages listed are el5 
architecture, and there are el6 format packages available in OL6 for libexif.
My RH Satellite install shows an equivalent errata, but limited to RHEL5.
I don't see an equivalent errata for CentOS6.
The Spacewalk API docs don't list a valid severity value of "Na".  RedHat's 
errata severity page specifically lists only 4 values and "Na" isn't one of 
them.

Unfortunately, as a result of the error noted in the log, the repo sync halts 
and none of the errata are applied to the channel.  Hence, when I clone the 
channel down into my production channels, none of the errata will get cloned 
appropriately either.

>From a quick Internet search, it appears that Oracle has used this value a few 
>times.

Am I missing something fundamental here?  Has this bitten anyone else?  Any 
suggestions for how to address this?
