This was deployed directly into prod (YOLO!) and has been working ever since.

Is this some bug in Ubuntu's version of createrepo? Is it resolved in a newer version of createrepo?

alfredodeza commented 4 years ago

According to the BZ this has been fixed in versions: yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-16.el6, yum-3.2.29-7.el6 included in compose RHEL6.1 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612409 ) but there is no yum-metadata-parser in Ubuntu, it is rather python-sqlitecachec . In the tracker you can see more information about how all those related. Since these servers are using Xenial, I would assume that Bionic wouldn't have this problem.
