Hello Stephen,
Here is RH’s reply on the query as to how RH Satellite parses RPMs for date base
filters.
Hi John, I got some information for you. Errata filter based on date does not scan RPMs,
but scan errata (update or create) date and exclude/include all rpms which this specific
errata contains. Does this help in the process?

Hello Stephen,
We mirror the EPEL5 and EPEL7 repositories, but I really don’t know if there are other
issues with those or EPEL6. The only reason I stumbled upon this one was due to the fact
that the munin update in Sept 2018 now requires conntrack-tools. There may be others, and
this also maybe be the only one.
I will request from RH the technical details they use when applying date filters in
Satellite, maybe with that I can scan the other RPM’s in our mirrors for other hits.
Best Regards,

Hello Stephen,
Yes, we have the conntrack-tools in our Red Hat Satellite repository, and we can apply it
outside of our Satellite process; by manually copying the rpm to each server and
installing outside of our process.
The issue is the interworking of the metatdata in the conntrack-tools RPM and Red Hat
Satellite date filters for Content Views. Not sure how familiar you are with Red Hat
Satellite, but the data filters are the primary method used to create a cyclical patching
schedule and thus patch sets based on date.
In Red Hat Satellite, if I specify any date inclusion (Like from January 1, 1970 - October
12, 2018) and point it at the EPEL6 repository the filter does not pick up the
conntrack-tools. I opened support case with Red Hat, and with their assistance we have a
work around, where we don't specify any Satellite date filters for the EPEL
repositories (i.e. Get Everything no matter when released) and yes still keep the
Satellite date filters on the official Red Hat repositories used to create the combined
Satellite content view.
However this work-around does not allow us to recreate a patch content view of EPEL
product or patches of any date other than 'today'. Without a date filter we get
all EPEL content and patches. This does not work with our Patching paradigm, as we base
patch sets on Date. We then use life-cycle management to promote a patch set to Production
after it has been vetted on Dev then Test.
Red Hat does not support EPEL, and indicated this is not a Satellite issue but a RPM
metadata issue with EPEL release process.
I will check but I am not sure it is a problem we can solve quickly as I don't know
how Satellite categorizes dates currently. Do you also mirror anything from other non Red
Hat Network repositories and do they have the problem also? [I am mostly looking to see if
we are not setting something up we should or not]
Let me know if you need further clarification.
Best Regards,

We now use Red Hat Satellite 6.3 and have it synchronizing to
Recent updates to munin-node and munin-common require conntrack-tools
x86_64 0.9.13-3.el6.
The conntrack-tools x86_64 0.9.13-3.el6 was release in May 2014,
based on rpm -qip, and is in our synchronized EPEL content view on our Satellite.
We use content view date filters to only select errata (patches) up
to a specific date (based on our patch cycle) and publish new content views based on said
dates. We stumbled upon the issue that the conntrack-tools x86_64 0.9.13-3.el6 package not
being included in the content view, even though it existed in the repository, and our date
based content filter should have encompassed the release date of the package. This caused
yum update to fail for the munin updates, as the prerequisite could not be satisfied.
I need more information like what you are exactly seeing. The conntrack-tools is in the
repository and can be downloaded and installed via yum and reposync.
Curious if there is indeed something amiss with this packages
metadata, and also if other EPEL packages suffer the same fate. We are concerned that we
will not be able to rely on the veracity of EPEL packages and will have to mitigate this
in some fashion.
