It seems to stem from an incorrect timestamp on a file in your cache (unfortunately I've forgotten which - I think filelists.xml.gz). The timestamp is blatantly wrong and is many years into the future. Therefore, when comparing the date on what is downloaded to what is cached, it assumes you already have the latest version and is wrong....hence, cleaning the cache resolves the problem, until next time. This sounds like something for Bugzilla, however, I don't have the time at the moment. I will try to do that at a better time if someone doesn't beat me to it.

This is probably not the appropriate list for this discussion, but I'd be concerned about why you're trying to use Ghost for Linux anyway - a much more scalable solution is to use kickstart. This way, instead of having full disk images stored somewhere taking up gigabytes of space, you have a text file that's a few kilobytes that describes exactly how to build that system. You can do anything you want in a kickstart - specify what packages do or don't get installed on the systems, scripts to run before and after system installation, etc. With this, you can customize the resultant system to exactly meet your needs.

Using https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC as the URL , I invoke the "up2date.login" method with "system id file" (an XML string basically) as it's parameter. As a result of this , I get the list of channels I am entitled for. For example, [rhel-x86_64-server-5, 20100112174250, 1, 1] : Here the first entry in the tuple is the channel name and 2nd entry is the last modified time for this channel. 2. Once I get the channel information : I go ahead to get the package details using "https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC/$RHN/rhel-x86_64-server-5/listPackages/" As a response to this method, I get package attributes such as name , version , release , arch , size, epoch . But no checksum information is returned as a result of this call which causes the problem. I am not sure of why mirroring RHN updates is done this way. I could not co-relate the code written (XML RPC methods used) with the list of API provided here. https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/apidoc/index.jsp I believe the code was written long time back and was (in fact is ) fairly stable. :-) However, I am also open to re-implementation of the same in case there are some better approaches. So any suggestions are most welcome.
