Landscape Repository Profile Lost After Access Group Change

[Jose Ortiz]

On standalone (on-prem) landscape web page, I created a new access group, and bulk assigned the new access group to several computers, landscape then generated a bulk activity to "apply repository profiles". The repository profile file for these computers in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ was changed to .SAVE No new repository profile .LIST file was created. I had to manually move the .SAVE back to .LIST to restore the file. Seems like landscape wants to have a tight link between the repo profile and the access group, when it should not. My understanding is that the repo profile should be tightly linked to the Tag only. I assume if I remove any reference to the access group in the repo profile through landscape-api that this problem might go away. However, I don't think the Landscape software should care about that association.
