# Bug

## Description

Describe the problem, what were you doing when you noticed the bug?

Provide any steps possible used to reproduce the error (ideally in an isolated fashion).

@jbelleza reported this

> I was testing out nexus 86.0.0-bb.0.
I noticed that the repo job fails to add new repositories.
In the attached log, alpine-323-main fails because it does not exist and it fails to create the repository.
Work around for us is to make sure alpine-323-main gets created in nexus 84.0.0-bb.1 before going to 86.0.0-bb.0. [repo__1_.log](/uploads/b8b07ee58eebb93cfdf0004e0b827301/repo__1_.log)

With further testing it looks like directly deploying on 86 fails, but it can gracefully upgrade if the repo is deployed on 84 and then upgraded to 86.

## BigBang Version

What version of BigBang were you running?

This can be retrieved multiple ways:

```bash
# via helm
helm ls -n bigbang

# via the deployed umbrella git tag
kubectl get gitrepository -n bigbang
```
