Errata info is processed and obviously assigned to rpms, but not imported

[ronnybremer]

I see debug info with the correct RPMs being associated to the errata, but it will not be imported into Katello 3.17. Here is an extract of the log:

No errors are shown and the Katello task is correctly executed without errors too. The repo is the CentOS 7 repo and I checked for the RPMs, they are all in there. What am I missing?

I have the same issue, and after some troubleshooting, this is my current knowledge:

The part searching for the packages in the repositories has problems, as the list of packages from Katello gets returned with "Packages/....".
I managed to work around this by editing the code, which leads to another problem - with 3.17 it uses Pulp3,
which cannot be administered by pulp-admin.

So, until someone find´s a way to publish errata directly via API, none of the "old" tools can be used.

I see, thank you for the update. I will check on the Foreman/Katello forums, if there is any current solution.

I downgraded to 3.14 to solve this.
I do believe you can configure Foreman to use pulp2 but I have not tried it yet.
