However at the client end yum check-update shows 1 2 or 3 packages needing update. And when I attempt to run the update I get dependency errors. Some of the clients are showing an update for bind-libs.i686 when they only have the x86_64 package installed. The appropriate update package for the correct architecture is on the spacewalk server and I can see in the GUI that it is listed as an update for the client, but the client can’t see it. I’ve done all of the suggestions (and then some) for clearing this problem from the client end. This suggestion about the cache looks like the first hopeful suggestion I’ve seen.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">And for the record, we’re running on Spacewalk 2.0 currently.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#262626">Robert Boyd<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#262626">Sr. Systems Engineer <o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#262626">PeopleFluent<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#262626">p. 919-645-2972 | c. 919-306-4681<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#262626">e. <b><a href="mailto:robert.boyd@peoplefluent.com">Robert.Boyd@PeopleFluent.com</a><o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#262626"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.peoplefluent.com/"><span style="text-decoration:none"><img border="0" width="150" height="62" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image002.png@01D06C77.8A4F1150" alt="http://mktg.peoplefluent.com/rs/peopleclick/images/140410_PF4colorLOGOx150.png"></span></a><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:#282664"><a href="http://www.peoplefluent.com/"><b><span style="color:#F27222;text-decoration:none">Click here</span></b></a> <b>to experience the power of the new PeopleFluent Mirror Suite ™</b></span><span style="color:#1F497D"><br> Visit: <a href="http://www.peoplefluent.com/"><span style="text-decoration:none">www.peoplefluent.com</span></a> | Read: <a href="http://peoplefluent.com/resources/peoplefluent-blog"><span style="text-decoration:none">PeopleFluent Blog</span></a> | Follow: <a href="http://twitter.com/peoplefluent"><span style="text-decoration:none">@PeopleFluent</span></a></span><span style="color:#282664"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext"> spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Alan Pittman<br> <b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, March 31, 2015 9:03 AM<br> <b>To:</b> spacewalk-list@redhat.com<br> <b>Subject:</b> Re: [Spacewalk-list] Yum client reports no update, But Spacewalk GUI reports that there are<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </div> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Thanks for the replies, but neither suggestion helped. I got it to work with a wild shot in the dark. What I did was to delete the /var/cache/rhn/repodata/<channel> sub-directories on the spacewalk server and force the Spacewalk application to repopulate them. Exactly what forces the re-population, I don’t know, but if I run a yum makecache on the client, it initially fails because there isn’t anything in the /var/cache/rhn/repodata/<channel> directory. Something triggers Spacewalk to rebuild/reload the directory and then the makecache command works for that channel. I have to run the makecache multiple times to force all of the data for all of the channels to be re-populated. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">How the data in the /var/cache/rhn/repodata/<channel> directory got “stale”, I don’t know, but at least it’s working now.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Hopefully this makes some sense and is helpful for someone else.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Alan<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext"> <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a> [<a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com">mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Kobus Bensch<br> <b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, March 31, 2015 4:42 AM<br> <b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a><br> <b>Subject:</b> Re: [Spacewalk-list] Yum client reports no update, But Spacewalk GUI reports that there are<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </div> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I had this issue.
