[Spacewalk-list] Required version of yum to supportyum-rhn-plugin?

[Michael Gale]

Hello,

    It is set to sha1, seems to be by default. Upon further
investigation is seems that only this channel has an issue, which seems
to only be resolvable by upgrading the version of yum.

CentOS 4.X and Centos5.2 clients. After upgrading from 0.5 to 0.7 none
of the client machines are able to use yum to talk to the spacewalk
server. I upgrade from 0.5 to 0.6 and then directly to 0.7. At this
point I noticed the rhn commands and my connectivity to the spacewalk
server worked fine however on the clients the yum command would fail
with:

You've not set the yum repos to be the wrong hash have you?  You want to
make
sure it's set to sha1, under Manage Software Channels and a specific
channel.
