Hi Jonathan
 
could you paste a full output from one of your clients:
yum repolist
yum -y update

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Cannot update registered systems


Hello all, 

I've recently encountered an issue that I cannot seem to explain or
correct.  On my Spacewalk v0.6 server, my test box shows a total of 18
packages that need updating.  The server is properly registered to my
updates channel, not in a locked state, is able to execute successful
rhn-profile-sync (all 18 package versions verified manually as needing
an update), and otherwise 100% capable of interacting with Spacewalk in
every way.. save updating these packages.  The packages are in the
updates channel and freely available.  Packages can be downloaded from
the channel and installed manually.  Scheduling the install from
Spacewalk returns a success messages, even though the packages do not
actually install (schedule, rhn_check on server produces empty result,
task lists as successful).  Executing 'yum update' returns empty.  

My update channels are synced using spacewalk-repo-sync against the
centos.org repositories.



I'm at a loss as to where/what to check next.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
- Jonathan
