[Spacewalk-list] failed to retrieve getPackage/package_name [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found

[Bushby, Bruce (London)(c)]

Hi
 
Anybody know if the issue reported by Josh Mullis was ever resolved?,
his email read as follows:
 
    >>Re: [Spacewalk-list] failed to retrieve getPackage/package_name
[Errno 14] HTTP Eror 404: Not Found

    >>And retrying a couple hours later, the problem client was able to

I have the exact same problem. I register my rhel 5.3 client to my
spalkwalk 0.7 on Fedora 12......everything works as expected.
 
I then delete my rhel 5.3 client using the spacewalk UI.....UI delete
works fine
 
I then re-register my rhel 5.3 client to the same spacewalk 0.7 on
Fedora 12.....wait a few mins and run:
    for i in headers packages metadata dbcache plugins expire-cache all;
do yum clean $i; done
 
and when I try and install something, I get:
    ".......
    Total download size: 2.5 k
    Downloading Packages:
 

    Error Downloading Packages:
      man-dhclient-0.0-2.noarch: failed to retrieve
getPackage/man-dhclient-0.0-2.noarch.rpm from test-channel
    error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
 
    [root at tloninzerotouch ~]# 
    ......" 
 
 
I simply leave the system for some time (few hours) and run the exact
same command (up arrow) and it installs fine.
 
Any ideas?
