retain_package_versions not pulling RPM's in a few instances

[i-hate-picking-usernames]

Version
pulppore = 3.69.2
pulp_rpm = 3.27.2

Describe the bug
Have cloned the "rhel-8-baseos-rpms" repo to a new repository with "retain_package_versions=1". After doing this, the rpm & python3-libselinux rpms are not found. If I set retain_package_versions=2 and perform the client, I get 2 versions of all RPM's and 1 version of the above RPM's published.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Clone rhel-8-baseos-rpms into a new repository with retain_package_versions=1. You'll see the above two RPM's are not found.

Expected behavior
Would expect the new published repo to contain 1 version of each RPM. This is the case with the exception of these two RPM's.

Additional context
N/A.

So I tried this out and I don't seem to be able to reproduce

Granted, I didn't use the exact same versions as you, but the versions are very close and nothing has changed in that area lately

What precisely do you mean by "not found"? Are they in the repository but 404 when you try to download them, or are they not listed either?

Thanks @dralley. I had been able to reproduce on 3 separate systems, however after re-cloning into an existing repo, these two RPM's pulled in last night. I'm at a loss as to what the issue is/was.

I also had looked at the pulp_rpm python code and couldn't find any reason for this. I'll close this issue and see if I consistently reproduce this. Thanks again.
