[Pulp-list] [Pulp v1] Command "pulp-admin repo content" sees RPM in pulp repo but yum install not

[Olaf Bergner]

Hello,

I'm experimenting with using pulp as our future in-house yum repository 
for hosting home-grown rpms. To that end, I recently installed pulp v1 
and created a repository. I did so closely following instructions found 
in pulp's user guide, setting up pulp server and pulp consumer on the 
same machine, a centos 6.2 box.

Issuing "pulp-admin repo content --id=vnet-el6-noarch" yields

Errata in vnet-el6-noarch:

  none

After registering the server machine as a consumer and binding that 
consumer to "vnet-el6-noarch", issuing the command "pulp-consumer repo 
list" yields

Looking into /etc/yum.repos.d/pulp.repo I see

#
# Pulp Repositories
# Managed by Pulp client
#

[vnet-el6-noarch]
name = vnet-el6-noarch
enabled = 1
sslverify = 0
gpgcheck = 0
baseurl = https://dev.vhost.net/pulp/repos/vnet-el6-noarch

Alas, yum does not find my homegrown logstash rpm, i.e. yum clean all && 
yum search logstash fails to return a match. Likewise, running "yum 
--disablerepo=* --enablerepo=vnet-el6-noarch list available" returns

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, pulp-profile-update
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

and that's it. For reference, here is the output from running "yum 
--version":

Has someone an explanation for this phenomenon, or could at least point 
me to where to look next? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
