Seemingly recently this has stopped working or is inconsistent in that spacewalk tells me that the update was actioned but the packages are not being updated and the systems are still showing as needing an update in spacewalk - Here is the output from rhn_check, can anyone spot anything that might be amiss or where to look for the issue? thanks # rhn_check -vvv D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0 D: locked db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Providename rdonly mode=0x0 D: check_action {'action': "<?xml version='1.0'?>\n<methodCall>\n<methodName>packages.update</methodName>\n<params>\n<param>\n<value><array><data>\n<value><array><data>\n<value><string>dbus</string></value>\n<value><string>1.1.2</string></value>\n<value><string>12.el5_4.1</string></value>\n<value><string></string></value>\n<value><string>x86_64</string></value>\n</data></array></value>\n<value><array><data>\n<value><string>dbus-libs</string></value>\n<value><string>1.1.2</string></value>\n<value><string>12.el5_4.1</string></value>\n<value><string></string></value>\n<value><string>x86_64</string></value>\n</data></array></value>\n<value><array><data>\n<value><string>kernel-xen</string></value>\n<value><string>2.6.18</string></value>\n<value><string>164.10.1.el5</string></value>\n<value><string></string></value>\n<value><string>x86_64</string></value>\n</data></array></value>\n<value><array><data>\n<value><string>tzdata</string></value>\n<value><string>2009u</string></value>\n<value><string>1.el5</string></val!
