We are running a local hub (AAP) and trying to synchronize some collections from [galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com). After the new galaxy has been launched, we changed the configuration of the remote repository (access token is working, has been verified with ansible-galaxy command).

When trying to synchronize the repository, the task in the AAP hub terminates with:

```auto
AnsibleNamespaceMetadata() got an unexpected keyword argument 'users'

```

Traceback shown:

```

Not sure if this is an issue with [galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com) but pretty sure that also AAP people are reading here… 🙂

Thanks!

This is a known issue in pulp\_ansible that we fixed in september. [https://github.com/pulp/pulp\_ansible/pull/1594](https://github.com/pulp/pulp_ansible/pull/1594)

Please update your pulp\_ansible package and the error will go away.

dammit… where did you find this? I’ve searched the Red Hat KB, the forum here and even globally on google 🙂

anyway… the latest updates for the AAP hub contains the fix.

Thanks a lot!

At least the next person searching here will find it, the search indexing in Discourse is pretty good 😃. Thanks for reporting it!
