<div>Hi </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If I'm reading your description correctly, this problem has existed since about Satellite 5.1 and I logged a service request regarding this at my previous contract. The problem is that you have some Satellite/Spacewalk clients with outstanding errata, after a few days the Satellite/Spacewalk server 'forgets' about them and they don't show up again until you run 'rhn-profile-sync' (RHEL5) or 'up2date -p' (RHEL3/4).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can no longer log in to the RHN account belonging to my previous employer so I can't provide the SR number.</div>

<br>yum list upgrades shows the packages as valid upgrade packages if run locally on the host and after running rhn-profile-sync the spacewalk server then shows the packages as possible upgrades for the hosts.<br><br>The result of this is that the spacewalk systems overview is out of date with regards to any packages that have updates available.<br>
<br>Is the server meant to determine available updates from the database or the client informing it?<br><br>Right now I'm not sure what the correct behaviour is meant to be when an updated packages is pushed/sync'd into the channels.<br>

That appears to be running fine and I can see packages being imported and see them in the required channels afterwards.<br>
<br>However this morning I noticed something a little odd.....<br><br>The spacewalk server itself reported that there was a new cups and cups-lib package available for it - considering I have the cups service disabled I wasn't concerned initially. It was only when looking into the other systems that are subscribed to my spacewalk instance that I realised the package should apply to most of them and yet only the spacewalk server itself showed any packages out of date.<br>
<br><br>Comparing a system built a couple of weeks ago to one built yesterday shows<br><br>

<br>If the newest package is chosen in the channel listing the older system is showing as a valid target in target systems for deployment.<br><br>Both servers were built with the same kickstarts with the same activation key and have the same channel subscriptions.<br>
<br>Any ideas?<br><font color="#888888"><br>James<br></font></blockquote></span></div></div><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Spacewalk-list mailing list<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a><br>
