[Spacewalk-list] Errors when doing updates

[Brent Bolin]

Hello All,

Have spacewalk 1.3 setup and running on centos 5.5 x86_64.  Trying to
get updates running on another centos 5.5 x86_64 client

After a new install on the client I could see updates available.
Clicked on the updates, selected all and confirmed.  The pinged the
host to initiate the install.

Could see rhn_check running.  Saw this error in  /var/log/messages -

repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: centos-5.5-updates.
Please verify its path and try again

When I went back to the spacewalk gui i could see there were still
updates to be installed.  Wasn't sure why it didn't install... reboot
maybe?  So I did reboot.

Tried installing the remaining packages again.  I can see in the
scheduling tab that the job is failing. I can see this error in the
host event

This action's status is: Failed.
The client picked up this action on 04/17/11 10:51:44 PM CDT.
The client completed this action on 04/17/11 10:52:00 PM CDT.
Client execution returned "Error while executing packages action:
empty transaction [[6]]" (code -1

Anybody know what this is?

Thanks
