[Spacewalk-list] force re-creation of channel repo data

[Bushby, Bruce (London)(c)]

Hi
 
Although not entirely a spacewalk question, I was hoping the list could
offer some pointers relating to the re-creation of channel repo data.
 
I had Satellite 5.2 running on RHEL4. I exported all the channels,
installed Satellite 5.2 on RHEL5.3 and imported all the
channels...everything works 100%, except for
some strange behaviour when running "yum install custom-noarch.rpm". My
rpm has various requires and in the past (sat 5.2/RHEL4) yum would
resolve both glibc-devel.i386 AND glibc-devel.x86_64, however since
installing Satellite 5.2 on RHEL5.3, it no longer resolves/install
glibc-devel.x86_64...it only resolves the 32bit.
 
My rpm has the following requires:
---------------------------------------------------------
Requires(post): man-tuning >= 2.0
Requires   : pam >= 0.99.6.2-3.26.el5, binutils, compat-db,
control-center, gcc, gcc-c++, glibc, glibc-common, glibc-devel,
libstdc++, libstdc++-devel, make, ksh, xterm, xorg-x11-xauth, libaio,
libaio-devel, elfutils-libelf-devel, libXp, libXtst, man-release >= 1.0

## Require a file provided by glibc-devel 32 bit.
Requires: /usr/lib/libc.so
## Require a file provided by libXtst 32 bit.
Requires: /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
## Require a file provided by libXp 32 bit.
Requires: /usr/lib/libXp.so.6

 
I've never experienced any problems running Satellite 5.2 on RHEL4. I've
done 100s of new server builds (RHEL5.3) and when they run "yum install
custom-noarchrpm", yum would install BOTH 32bit and 64bit versions of
glibc-devel. However since installing Satellite 5.2 onto RHEL5.3 (having
exported my channels from the old setup) the yum install process no
longer resolves/installs glibc-devel (64bit) choosing to only install
glibc-devel (32bit)
 
I've tried everything I can think of and have settled on the fact that
RHEL5.3 has newer libs/xml/sqlite and I should try and force the
Satellite to rebuild all the necessary repodata for my "Gold Build"
(cloned/frozen) channels.
 
Is it possible to force a rebuild of channel repo data?
 
Any help would be much appreciated!!!!
