Hello,

I think I saw it suggested that the following would work:

spacewalk# rm -rf /var/cache/rhn/repodata/$CHANNEL_LABEL

and then do an operation that would normally fetch the repodata (yum 
list, ...).  Now it will cause a 404, but that will also trigger a 
rebuild of the repodata in a few minutes (so long as taskomatic is running).

Hope to help,

Josh
