[Spacewalk-list] Package update issue - 0.8 - CentOS 5 Client

Hi

This might be a little long but this is my scenario - I have a CentOS
updates channel which follows the updates as they come from CentOS, this is
currently tracking 5.4. I have a client that was installed as CentOS 5.3 and
is subscribed to this updates channel. I can see updates outstanding for it
but when i try to apply those updates although it appears that they were
applied, from a spacewalk POV, in reality nothing happens but no errors are
logged from what i can see.

If i install a client as 5.4 then this seems to not happen. The issue is
that i have some 5.3 boxes that need bringing up to date with spacewalk.

Any thoughts? This is a debug output trimmed down slightly
