Hello,

I see a strange behavior of spacewalk using spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle:
Everytime I promote a channel all erratas which source and destination channel 
have in common are removed from the source channel.

For example: source channel has 4 (newer) errata more than the destination 
channel. Then after running "spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle -c 
source_channel --promote" my destination channel has all old errata plus the 4 
new ones, but my source channel has only the 4 new errata left.

The rpm packages in each channel are still linked to the errata, but the source 
channel looses all "old" erratas.

It happens with all my channels, RHEL-6,7 and SLES-11,12.

I have spacewalk-2.6 on centos-7. I can also reproduce the behavior on my test 
machine with spacewalk-2.6 on centos-6:
I have 2 phases for spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle defined: test and prod. 
So I have 3 baselines of channels: daily (is synced daily with upstream repos), 
test and prod.

For a fresh start I clear all erratas from the database:
rhnschema=# truncate rhnErrata CASCADE;;

After a full sync of daily with upstream repo, errata count for my channels:
daily:  590
test:   0
prod:   0

After "spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle -c daily --promote" errata count for 
my channels:
daily:  590
test:   590
prod:   0

After "spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle -c test --promote" errata count for 
my channels:
daily:  590
test:   590
prod:   590

So far everything is ok.

Now I after a second "spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle -c daily --promote" 
errata count for my channels:
daily:  0
test:   590
prod:   590

And after a second "spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle -c test --promote" 
errata count for my channels:
daily:  0
test:   0
prod:   590

With the next sync of daily with upstream daily gets again all erratas:
daily:  590
test:   0
prod:   590

And this cycle can go on and on.

I am not sure, but I think this started after the upgrade from 2.5 to 2.6, but 
I could not find any relevant changes in the source code of the 
channel.software.mergeErrata API call. This is all code which was not touched 
in recent times.

So, is this a bug in spacewalk or did I only break my installations?


Regards,
Bernhard
