Appendix A. Troubleshooting: Remote jobs timing out after yggdrasil update

On hosts that have weak dependencies disabled and are configured to use the yggdrasil pull client, remote jobs can start failing due to timeouts after the yggdrasil package has been updated to version 0.4.z or later. You can manually install the foreman_ygg_migration package to address the problem.

The pull-based transport configuration relies on the Yggdrasil service and differs based on the version of the yggdrasil package that is installed on the host. For pull-based remote execution mode to work correctly after yggdrasil version 0.4.z is installed on the host, the Yggdrasil client configuration must be updated. Installing the foreman_ygg_migration package on the host ensures that Satellite applies the required changes to Yggdrasil configuration.

On hosts with weak dependencies enabled, Satellite automatically installs the foreman_ygg_migration package. No further steps are required.

On hosts with weak dependencies disabled, you must install the foreman_ygg_migration package manually.
