[Pulp-list] pulp sync - reader can't store

[Paul Jochum]

Hi All:

     I am running pulp 2.5.1-1, and over the weekend, my rpm repo sync 
commands started failing with "Reader can't store" error messages.

The command (and output) I am running:
-----------------------------------------------------------
$ pulp-admin -u admin -p admin rpm repo sync run 
--repo-id=rhel-x86_64-server-7
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
             Synchronizing Repository [rhel-x86_64-server-7]
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
This command may be exited via ctrl+c without affecting the request.

Downloading metadata...
[|]
... failed

Reader can't store

Task Failed

Importer indicated a failed response
-----------------------------------------------------------
