      Description of problem:
      When updating from Satellite 6.0.6 to 6.0.7, there are manual steps that must be completed to finish the installation (as described in https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015:0054).

      If the user runs 'yum update' without completing these steps, the system is left somewhat unusable. (see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1325953)

      This RFE requests a separate process/function similar to
      what other applications do, which is:

      • Lock the application's packages at a specific version (using the yum
        version-lock plugin for example)
      • Provide a script that completes the various (formerly manual) upgrade steps, so that we can ensure they are done in the correct order. And also give the user
        the option to backup the DB and other sundry items to make sure the
        process happens in the correct order.

      Because users don't always read the docs prior to issuing 'yum update', and we should do whatever possible to not leave them with a broken system.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      foreman-1.6.0.51-1
