Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this. I'm new to elastic and I'm a bit stuck. I'm unable to sync the repository at [https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum) to the channel our Satellite 5 server. There seems to be an invalid file extension on one of the packages in the repo: 2020/05/18 09:02:47 +01:00 Command: ['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'elasticsearch', '--type', 'yum'] 2020/05/18 09:02:47 +01:00 Sync of channel started. 2020/05/18 09:02:48 +01:00 2020/05/18 09:02:48 +01:00 Processing repository with URL: [https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum) 2020/05/18 09:02:55 +01:00 Packages in repo: 334 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 Packages already synced: 0 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 Packages to sync: 334 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 New packages to download: 0 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 Downloading packages: 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 Importing packages started. 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 Importing packages to DB: 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 Importing packages finished. 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 Linking packages to the channel. 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 ERROR: Package arch aarch64 incompatible with channel elasticsearch 2020/05/18 09:02:56 +01:00 ERROR: Package arch aarch64 incompatible with channel elasticsearch 2020/05/18 09:03:01 +01:00 Sync of channel completed in 0:00:12.

> [@Morrisong](#): > > aarch64 Hi, I had the exact same problem, but I managed to solve it by using the filter feature of the repository definition on spacewalk. I used the term **-\*.aarch64** **Prior to using the filter my log looked like this:** 2020/05/19 05:00:19 +02:00 Command: ['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'centos7\_es-7x', '--type', 'yum'] 2020/05/19 05:00:19 +02:00 Sync of channel started. 2020/05/19 05:00:20 +02:00 2020/05/19 05:00:20 +02:00 Processing repository with URL: [http://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum](http://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum) 2020/05/19 05:00:20 +02:00 Packages in repo: 334 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 Packages already synced: 315 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 Packages to sync: 19 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 New packages to download: 0 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 Downloading packages: 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 Importing packages started. 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 Importing packages to DB: 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 Importing packages finished. 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 Linking packages to the channel. 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 ERROR: Package arch aarch64 incompatible with channel centos7\_es-7x 2020/05/19 05:00:21 +02:00 ERROR: Package arch aarch64 incompatible with channel centos7\_es-7x 2020/05/19 05:00:24 +02:00 Sync of channel completed in 0:00:04. **After using the filter:** 2020/05/19 08:49:52 +02:00 Command: ['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'centos7\_es-7x', '--type', 'yum'] 2020/05/19 08:49:52 +02:00 Sync of channel started. 2020/05/19 08:49:52 +02:00 2020/05/19 08:49:52 +02:00 Processing repository with URL: [http://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum](http://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum) 2020/05/19 08:49:54 +02:00 Packages in repo: 334 2020/05/19 08:49:54 +02:00 Packages passed filter rules: 333 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 Packages already synced: 315 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 Packages to sync: 18 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 New packages to download: 0 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 Downloading packages: 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 Importing packages started. 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 Importing packages to DB: 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 Importing packages finished. 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 2020/05/19 08:49:55 +02:00 Linking packages to the channel. 2020/05/19 08:49:56 +02:00 2020/05/19 08:49:56 +02:00 Errata in repo: 0. 2020/05/19 08:49:59 +02:00 Sync of channel completed in 0:00:06. It seems your filter settings didn't work. ---

Hi Babelr, Thanks, but unfortunately that didn't work: The empty list below is filtered. Clear filter to see all 334 items. -\*.aarch64 Package Summary Content Provider No packages found for this criteria. Filtering for \*.aarch64 also returns no packages. Filtering for .aarch64 returns just the one package (as expected). Filtering for -.aarch64 returns no packages. In fact, filtering for "-" followed by anything returns no packages. ☹ ---

After going through it all again I don't know how many times, I found another place to put the filter: under "Manage repositories". Putting the filter there (instead of on the package selection page) worked. Many thanks to Babelr ---
