[Pulp-list] Problems syncing latest bash from Oracle Linux 5 repo (Pulp 2.3.1)

[Christina Plummer]

Hello all,

With all of the recent bash updates we are paying special attention so our
Pulp repo syncs.  It looks like, for some reason, Pulp 2.3.1 is not
properly syncing the latest version of bash from the Oracle Linux 5 repo (
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/latest/x86_64/).

Here are the versions available in the Oracle repo according to yum:
Available Packages
bash.x86_64
3.2-24.el5                                                        el5_latest
bash.x86_64
3.2-32.el5                                                        el5_latest
bash.x86_64
3.2-32.el5_9.1                                                    el5_latest
bash.x86_64
3.2-33.el5.1                                                      el5_latest
bash.x86_64
3.2-33.el5.1.0.1                                                  el5_latest
bash.x86_64
3.2-33.el5_11.4                                                   el5_latest

3.2-33.el5_11.4 is the newest version in the Oracle repo, dated 26-Sep-2014
02:25.

But after several sync attempts, these are the only versions that I have in
my local repo:
Available Packages
bash.x86_64
3.2-33.el5.1
live-ol5-x86_64
bash.x86_64
3.2-33.el5.1.0.1
live-ol5-x86_64

I expect to see bash-3.2-33.el5_11.4.  Any idea why this one would be
getting skipped over?  Is it not picking up that 3.2-33.el5_11.4 is newer
than 3.2-33.el5.1.0.1?

NOTE: this repository is VERY large, as it includes src rpms as well as
regular rpms.  The errata never sync properly, which causes the overall
sync job to error out, but we used to just manually publishing the repo
after the sync completes to get around this.  Normally the packages do
download properly.

Here is the config - note I am retaining only 1 old package due to the
large size of the repo:
