[Spacewalk-list] Repos listed multiple times

[Anoop Bhat]

I did some research and found where the cache data lives.

/var/cache/rhn/repodata

The repo I'm looking at has this

total 660
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root   4096 Apr 23 17:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root   4096 Sep 29  2009 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 415557 Apr 23 16:48 filelists.xml.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 177295 Apr 23 16:48 other.xml.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  50465 Apr 23 16:48 primary.xml.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    877 Apr 23 16:48 repomd.xml

I uploaded a file as recently as today into that repo but I'm not seeing the cache rebuilt.

Anything I can do to force it?

Is a service stuck perhaps or hung that needs to be restarted?

Thanks!

Hi,

Something peculiar is going on with all the clients I've tested.

Yum repolist shows each repo only once (base + some custom ones)

Yum makecache seems to build the cache for each of the repos at least three times.

Metadata Cache Created

We're running spacewalk 0.8 and the clients are mostly centos 5.2/3

Lastly, the "custom-software" repo in spacewalk shows as having 323 packages but I'm only ever able to list 280. This used to work fine in the past but something goofy happened and I'm not sure how to go about resolving it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Anoop
