<br>
</div></div><packager /> is functionally identical to <packager></packager>[0]; the location<br>
of the slashes matters there.<br>
<br>
Additionally, whitespace between tags should't matter[1][2], so the newline<br>
before "<package" doesn't matter.<br>
<br>
I think it's unlikely that those two things are the cause of the problem here.<br>
The original error does indicate a malformed xml document, unfortunately doesn't<br>
go into detail about exactly where:<br>
<span><br>
> TypeError: Parsing primary.xml error: Start tag expected, '<' not<br>
> found<br>
<br>
</span>I suspect it's failing on the very start of the document, though, since that's<br>
the only real place a parser can be sure it needs to see a start tag.<br>
<br>
In your direct mirrored xml example, the xml declaration [0] and the outer<br>
metadata tag as seen in the foreman-generated xml seem to be missing:<br>
<span><br>
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br>
</span>> <metadata ... ><br>
<br>
It might be useful to debugging to paste that mirrored primary.xml somewhere, in<br>
its entirety.<br>
