[Spacewalk-list] No packages available to install error

[Michiel van Es]

Hi,

We had a maintenance window this morning.
It was scheduled to push the new packages at 05:20 this morning, but it 
sais: No packages available to install.

You can see that the packages were selected to update but Spacewalk did 
not update the packages:

Ans I know for sure nobody manually upgraded the packages before the 
scheduled time..

Does someone know why this problem occurs and what I can do about it?
