Hi

beside switching our cobbler setup to a new server we upgraded to 1.0.
However we then had a problem running cobbler check:

# cobbler check
The following potential problems were detected:
#0: since iptables may be running, ensure 69, 80, 25150, and 25151 are
unblocked
#1: One or more repos referenced by profile objects is no longer defined
in cobbler: <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t,
>, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >,
<, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <,
i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n,
h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e,
r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i,
t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >,
>, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <,
<, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i, n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >, <, <, i,
n, h, e, r, i, t, >, >

So first I thought of having a problem due to our migration, however I
then could say for sure that the setup is the same. Talking then on irc
with iranzo, we figured out that it have to be a problem in the profiles
at the repos: part. I had 27 profiles with 7 being the top and all the
others inheriting from these 7. Makes 20 repos which inherits and have
therefor repos: <<inherit>> in the yaml. Which is exactly the amount of
<,<,i,n... in the error above.
Wit dumpvars everything looked ok and they had the repos inherited from
the parent. However when I now added the repos for each profile without
inheriting from the parent it works fine and there's only the firewall
warning left.

So for me it looks like cobbler check have a problem with inheriting
repos in profiles. Anybody can confirm this behaviour? Or what else
might cause the problem?

thanks and greets Marcel
