Bug Description

Got this very simple sequence of events on a brand new VM and LS computer (i.e., the VM was *not* accepted as a pre-existing LS computer). See screenshot:
- computer accepted
- profile activity created at the same time. It eventually failed
- computer resynchronized for some reason

Here is the reason for the profile activity failure:
"""
Can't install landscape-profile-andreas.hasenack-lamp_6: no package provides apache2-mpm-prefork
"""

That package certainly exists. It just didn't exist yet in the client, because smart update didn't finish.

I'm also going to attach the client logs.

The timezones are: UTC for the screenshot, and UTC-4 for the logs. So, if you see 21:14 in Landscape, it's 17:14 in the client logs.

Of course, how long to wait would be the question. I guess this goes back to that old feature request of the server knowing when the client finished to upload the hashes/ids/packages/whatever.

Ok, I finally got the profile installed on my 3rd attempt (the first activity was automatically created when the computer was accepted, and the other two were my manual attemps).

See attached screenshot.

So in my case, the scenario of accepting a computer and expecting it to automatically install the profile didn't work. I had to come back to it twice.

The fix works, but mind a bug in smart: bug #562496

If /root/.gnupg doesn't exist when smart update runs, it is created, but that first smart update run will fail and so will the package profile activity.
