[Spacewalk-list] yum update dependency issues

[Matt Carey]

I currently have a Spacewalk .5 install on a CentOS 5 server with CentOS 5 clients.  On the clients I used the rhnreg_ks python script to register them with the Spacewalk server. The clients appear to see the CentOS 5 created channels properly:
[root at stewie pxelinux.cfg]# yum info | head -n 5
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * centos5-updates-x86_64: spacewalk.example.com
 * centos5-base-x86_64: spacewalk.example.com
Exiting on Broken Pipe
[root at stewie pxelinux.cfg]# yum repolist
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
repo id              repo name                                 status
centos5-base-x86_64  None                                      enabled
centos5-updates-x86_ None                                      enabled

Most of the clients are CentOS 5.2 and the channels they see have the CentOS 5.3 RPMs and when I do a yum update on the clients they are throwing dependency errors:
[root at stewie pxelinux.cfg]# yum update
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * centos5-updates-x86_64: spacewalk.example.com
 * centos5-base-x86_64: spacewalk.example.com

Running a yum list on the clients it looks like those RPMs are all within my channels:
[root at stewie pxelinux.cfg]# yum list |grep "4.1.2-44"

Is there any reason that the clients wouldn't be finding the required dependencies in the channels if they all exist? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Matt
