<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Right, I think I have solved it, I did indeed need to update rhnlib, but since the client couldn't see the new channel Spacewalk wanted it to update from, it couldn't get this package. Since the repo file was still looking for the 2.2 channel for updates it couldn't see the new version. I manually changed the repo to look for 2.3 files, then updated rhnlib, rhn_check now works (as well as all the other issues I had which were clearly related)<br><br></div>Thank you Pierre!<br><br></div>James<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 10 June 2015 at 14:39, James Stocker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jamesrstocker@gmail.com" target="_blank">jamesrstocker@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I think this might be the issue, currently installed is:<br><br>rhnlib-2.5.72-1.el5<br><br></div>But regardless of the fact that the repo with rhnlib-2.5.75-1.el5.noarch is available to this server it doesn't see the update... but why.... ?<br></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 10 June 2015 at 14:30, Pierre Casenove <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pcasenove@gmail.com" target="_blank">pcasenove@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello,<div>Check that you have the latest rhnlib package installed.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>pierre</div></font></span></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-06-10 15:20 GMT+02:00 Nadupalli Ramesh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nadupalliramesh@gmail.com" target="_blank">nadupalliramesh@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Check the Python version.
