[Spacewalk-list] Can't upgrade a package that is not in pkgSkipList

[Santi Saez]

Hi,

I have no idea about this behaivour with Spacewalk, anyone can help me?

I have seen that when installing manually this package, appears this 
warning:

# rpm -Uvh awstats-6.6-1.swsoft.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### 
[100%]
    1:awstats                warning: /etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf 
saved as /etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf.rpmsave
########################################### [100%]

Perhaps it's a "file skip" and not "package skip" feature?

# grep -i file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
# Automatically generated Red Hat Update Agent config file, do not edit.
forceInstall[comment]=Force package installation, ignoring package, file 
and config file skip list
fileSkipList[comment]=A list of file names, optionally including 
wildcards, to skip
fileSkipList=;

Regards,
