[Pulp-list] Can't Delete Repo

[ben.stanley at exemail.com.au]

Hello Pulp Team,

I have a large pulp server configured here, with 577 repos.

Unfortunately, some of my repos have been created in error, and I must
delete them. However, when I attempt to delete them, the command shows
only this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# pulp-admin rpm repo delete --repo-id=atrpms-7-i386-bleeding
This command may be exited via ctrl+c without affecting the request.

[|]
Waiting to begin...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It doesn't get anywhere.

The pulp.log file shows that the delete request is created, but doesn't
seem to do anything about it.

If I stop pulp and re-start it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
for SERVICE in {pulp_resource_manager,pulp_celerybeat,pulp_workers,mongod}
do
    systemctl stop ${SERVICE}
done

for SERVICE in {mongod,pulp_workers,pulp_celerybeat,pulp_resource_manager}
do
    systemctl start ${SERVICE}
done
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then in the pulp.log file I see 549 "Received task" messages:

Please find more complete log information attached to this email.

In my understanding, the deletion task is probably being blocked by
another task using the repo.
How can I find out what is causing the blockage?
How can I un-block it?
What can I do to make the repo deletion succeed?

I have the following software:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
pulp-rpm-plugins-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
python-pulp-bindings-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
pulp-puppet-admin-extensions-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
python-isodate-0.5.0-4.pulp.el7.noarch
python-kombu-3.0.15-12.pulp.el7.noarch
pulp-admin-client-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
python-pulp-rpm-common-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
pulp-puppet-plugins-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
python-pulp-common-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch

pulp-selinux-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
pulp-server-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
python-pulp-client-lib-2.5.1-1.el7.noarch
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know these aren't the latest, but I can't update pulp until I can solve
getting pulp to update its repos [1].


Thanks,
Ben Stanley.

[1] I installed pulp on workstation, but now there is a dependency from
python-mongoengine to python-blinker, which is only available in server,
which I don't have yet, and pulp isn't updating well at the moment, which
is likely related to the 549 tasks it runs whenever I re-start it.
