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

[Olaf Bergner]

Meanwhile, manually inspecting the metadata in "vnet-el6-noarch", I 
noticed that filelists.xml.gz, primary.xml.gz, filelists.sqlite.bz2, 
primary.sqlite.bz2 are all empty, i.e.

$ zless filelists.xml.gz

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filelists xmlns="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/filelists" packages="0">
</filelists>

and

$ sqlite3 filelists.sqlite
...
sqlite> select * from packages;
sqlite>

both say that there are no packages in my repository. Seems as if I made 
a really stupid mistake. This is the sequence of commands I use to 
publish an rpm into pulp:

$ /usr/bin/pulp-admin -u admin -p admin content upload --nosig --verbose 
--dir /home/me/publish
$ /usr/bin/pulp-admin -u admin -p admin repo add_package --id 
vnet-el6-noarch --package=logstash-1.1.0-20120412051047.el6.noarch.rpm

Is there anything I'm doing wrong here?
