redpesk OS

Expected behaviour:

• Creation of one root node (from template full-normal and admin) and one child node (from template leaf-normal and admin) of this root node
• copy RPM in etc/yum.repos.d of child node
• install it with redwrap-dnf --redpath /path/to/child/node --admin install /path/to/RPM => the RPM is correctly installed inside rednode

Actual behaviour:

• The command redwrap-dnf doesn't execute anything and doesn't return anything (no error) => the RPM is not installed

Workaround:

• The command redmicrodnf can be used to install the RPM but launched outside the node => from the host launch redmicrodnf --redpath /path/to/child/node install /path/to/RPM

Investigation:

• Launch bash inside child node : redwrap --redpath /path/to/child/node --admin -- bash
• Launch redmicrodnf command inside rednode : redmicrodnf --redpath /path/to/child/node install /path/to/RPM
• redmicrodnf return 'Aborted (core dumped)' => might be the error encountered with redwrap-dnf but not displayed

Reproducing steps:

ulimit -c unlimited
redconf create -f /tmp/redroot
redconf create -l /tmp/redroot/leaf
find /tmp/redroot
redwrap -a -r /tmp/redroot/leaf -- bash
cp socat-1.7.4.1-5.apps.rpbatz_1.2.aarch64.rpm /tmp/redroot/leaf/etc/yum.repos.d/
redwrap-dnf -a -r /tmp/redroot/leaf install /tmp/redroot/leaf/etc/yum.repos.d/socat-1.7.4.1-5.apps.rpbatz_1.2.aarch64.rpm

The issue was coming from configuration files that mounted /var/lib/rpm and /var/lib/rpm as read only.

The commit https://github.com/redpesk-labs/red-pak/commit/eef436d25d61ce285ed8cde4b89a4b44ed93e587 changed the mounts to be writable in administrative mode.
