We've had Keith reporting the same issue at

	https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2011-June/msg00180.html

At

	https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2011-July/msg00055.html

I suggested some things to investigate but we did not see any results
after that.

Your dependency/server causing the problem seems to be

so try to investigate what is special about those.
