Hello again, still having problems, I noticed that the errata-cache gets triggerd when a client refreshes its repos or searches for updates. So I manually fired a "zypper ref -s" or a "apt-get update" on every client connected to this spacewalk server. This seems to have fixed "something". Suddenly, the "errata-cache" task has finished and I got some backtraces from spacewalk. But I still have trouble. The UI does not seem to get updated correctly (on the "system" page, nearly all systems look "up-to-date". But I know, it's not!). But the updates are available to the clients (searching on the client). When I look into the last errata-cache schedules (in Spacewalk "Admin" -> "Task schedules" -> "errata-cache-bunch") I can see, that the "errata-cache" tasks is often "SKIPPED" <table width=516
