[Spacewalk-list] Kickstarting centos x86 and i386 redhat-logos-4.9.99-11.el5.centos.noarch.rpm md5sum

[A Robinson]

Hello,

I have successfully used kickstart to install centos 5.3 i386 (after
creating a channel in spacewalk). When I try to install centos 5.3 x86_64
(after creating another channel in spacewalk) it fails with

failed to get
http://spacewalk/ks/dist/centos-53-64-dist/CentOS/redhat-logos-4.9.99-11.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

I can manually fetch the above with wget from the machine I am attempting to
install.

Looking at the packages under the channel in spacewalk it states it is
"available from" Centos 5.3 and Centos 5.3 64 (my two channels), with md5sum
0c99a2965e57173bfbc527b694508ce3. This matches the package from the 5.3 i386
main Centos repository. However, it does not match the checksum of package
on the main Centos 5.3 x86_64 DVD, (even though they both have the same
name). The two packages do differ.

So, is this the likely reason why the install is failing? If so how can I
fix it? Should a package with the same name have two different md5sums, if
not, presumably it's a problem with centos' packaging?

Thanks
A Robinson
