[Spacewalk-list] Cannot delete software channel

[Dirk Hartel]

Hi,

did you check spacewalk for packages which do not belong to any channels?
Normally, if you delete channels the RPMs within will not be deleted!

Please check it under

Channels -> Managing Software Channels -> Managing Software Packages


Kind Regards


Dirk
