[Spacewalk-list] Unable to create bootstrap files

Mon Feb 26 17:43:43 UTC 2018

Yes – this does “fix” it.  I have a feeling that if ORG_GPG_KEY is empty, that’s where we’re having the problem.

I haven’t found a good description for what he ORG_GPG_KEY actually is for.  Everything is saying it’s the organization’s GPG key – but what does that mean?  We’re using the GPG keys that the creator signed the package with and not resigning all the RPM’s with our own key.

Here's all I did:

https://github.com/bschonec/spacewalk/commit/bcae7948b6c827bbaeb3395d7eee6c9a69d38338

Note, that you can't use multiple ORG_GPG_KEYs when creating the bootstrap file.  I edited the bootstrap files manually after creating them.  I was more concerned about getting ANY bootstrap file created rather than finding out what the Python code bug is.  Again, I'm no developer AT ALL.

Interesting – where do you put activation keys – I thought that would be put in there after the bootstrap script was created.

So this is slightly interesting.  I put a print options below the main script where it gets the options – and here’s the results.  The options are being red – but…it says it’s getting overrides from client-config-overrides.txt.  I believe this file is in /var/ww/html/pub/bootstrap.  The overrides in the file there don’t match the overrides it’s pulling in.

I'm no developer and I don't play one on TV but *I* believe that the problem lines in 178 of https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/blob/master/spacewalk/certs-tools/rhn_bootstrap_strings.py.  The "options" variable isn't defined in the context of the bootstrap funtion.

When I back rev that piece of code, I'm able to create the bootstrap files, albeit with only one activation key.

Any word on this one?  I’m seeing this too.

I’m seeing options being defined as read from the command line.  Not sure what’s not being defined.

Has anyone tried installing the latest version of Spacewalk on CentOS7 lately?  I've tried 'rhn-bootstrap' on every version of 7 available from the CentOS forge and I get exactly the same problem.  I've created more than 12 different installs of Centos 7 (and even 6!) and none of them run rhn-bootstrap properly.

Is there an alternative to the rhn-bootstrap?  I really don't want to 'rhn-register' all the servers.

Thanks, Brian

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Unable to create bootstrap files

CentOS 7 64 bit.

After a flawless install I need to create the bootstrap registration files so that I can register my clients.

I get the following error when trying to create the bootstrap files via rhn-bootstrap:

# rhn-bootstrap
* WARNING: if there were hand edits to the rotated (backed up) file,

I've done this a dozen times before on a Red Hat Satellite system but for some reason the Spacewalk gods aren't smiling on me.

I have zero knowledge of Python so I don't even know where to begin there.

Again, the install was flawless and (so far) I don't see any issues with anything else Spacewalk related.

Here's a little bit about my system along with RPMs:
