I'm having a similar problem.<br><br>I've just installed a spacewalk 1.7 server, created the channels, uploaded the packages and registered a client (CentOS 5 i386).<br><br>When I run yum on it I see this:<br><br># yum clean all<br>
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin<br>Cleaning up Everything<br>Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors<br><br># yum update -v -v<br>Loading "rhnplugin" plugin<br>Loading "fastestmirror" plugin<br>Config time: 0.098<br>

<br>It looks like the client isn't able to fetch the rpms from the spacewalk server, maybe I missed a step during instalation?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/3/25 Brian Collins <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brianc@sedata.com">brianc@sedata.com</a>></span><br>

<div><pre style="WORD-WRAP:break-word">I am experimenting with 1.7 release by feeding updates to two fedora 16 systems. One (i386) behaves as expected and another (x86_64) does not see any updates from spacewalk however spacewalk side is not showing any abnormalities. Right now it reports 20+ packages needs an update but neither scheduling an update and running rhn_check nor running yum update on a target system results in any updates.
Here is the output of rhn_check -vvv
