Update download error after upgrade

[ivanerben]

Hi, 

after upgrading from 6.7 with HPE repositories in update manager to version 7.0U3, upgrade manager can't download patches with error:

Task VMware vSphere Update Manager Update Download on Datacenters in datacenter cannot be completed: A general system error occurred

Log shows error

grep error /var/log/vmware/vmware-updatemgr/vum-server/vmware-vum-server.log

2021-10-20T09:47:53.631Z error vmware-vum-server[46475] [Originator@6876 sub=VciSigUpdateTask.SigUpdateTask{230}] [vciSigUpdateTask 438] Error downloading third party patches from :http://vibsdepot.hpe.com/index-drv.xml: Error: Bulletin: hpe-driver-bundle-670.10.3.0 with same name but different set of vibs already exists inside VUM. Re-importing in this scenario is not supported.

I know about solution to clear database (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2147284), but then I have to setup Update manager again. 

Is it possible somehow delete just that patch which is causing problem?

Hey @ivanerben ,

You can safely Reset VMware Update Manager Database. You don't need to set up repository again,

If you have some custom repositories added (like HPE) they are gone when you reset db.
