I think this resolved this immanent issue, but the issue of not being able to sync from the parent Red Hat repository is still an issue. </p> <p><br> </p> <p>Do you know how the contents of <i>./cache/rhn/reposync</i> are created? As a work around, I copied the contents of <i>reposync </i>from the original server to the new server, and I'm able to sync from the Red Hat repository, but that is not a long term solution. </p> <p><br> </p> <p>I thought that perhaps I had found a solution. Yum can access the repository just fine so I copied the contents from <span><i>/var/cache/yum/x86_64/6Server/rhel-6-server-rpms</i> to the reposync directory. It started off just fine, but eventually failing due to not being able to find some keys. Actually the keys were generated, but they were of zero length and that won't work.</span></p> <p><span><br> </span></p> <p><span>It seems to be obvious that there is something else wrong with my installation, I just don't know what it is. If you, or anyone else have any thoughts are suggestion, I'm willing to take a look and give it a try.</span></p> <p><span><br> </span></p> <p><span>Thank you.</span></p> <p><span><br> </span></p> <p><span>Daryl</span></p> <br> <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <hr tabindex="-1" style="display:inline-block; width:98%"> <div id="divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr"><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" color="#000000" style="font-size:11pt"><b>From:</b> spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com <spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com> on behalf of Snyder, Chris <Chris.Snyder@csra.com><br> <b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, December 14, 2016 7:07 PM<br> <b>To:</b> spacewalk-list@redhat.com<br> <b>Subject:</b> Re: [Spacewalk-list] RHEL 6.x repository not syncing from parentchannel</font> <div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">The “metadata ….” Error indicates that your yum cache (provided by the Spacewalk server) is out of with what is actually available through the Spacewalk package database.
