[Spacewalk-list] RHEL4 rollbacks missing packages that exist

I have a base 4.8 channel with several child channels. One of the child 
channels contains the 4.3 release.

The test server is 4.3. I up2date to 4.8 without issue.

The 4.3 child channel appears to be fine regarding a repocache etc.

If I attempt a rollback Spacewalk never claims any packages are missing 
during the task creation. Approximately an hour into the rollback though 
the task fails claiming about 20 packages are missing that it needs.

These packages are not missing and show up in SW searches without issue. 
Additionally it doesnt complain about the approximately 700 other 
packages that exist in the same channel so I can only assume it finds them.

I have tested rollbacks on RHEL5 fairly extensively and by in large have 
been fully successful so I do not think my configuration nor methods are 
incorrect.

Anyone seen this before and/or have a fix?  I have rummaged around 
through logs but cant seem to find any reason it should think these 
packages are missing.

This is the only really descriptive message I get:

Client execution returned "Failed: Some of the packages requested are 
not available. Missing-Packages: [['Canna-libs', '3.7p3', '7.EL4', '', 
'i386'], ['FreeWnn-libs', '1.10pl020', '5', '1', 'i386'], ['GConf2',

['cyrus-sasl-ntlm', '2.1.19', '5.EL4', '', 'i386'], ['cyrus-sasl-plain',

Thanks.
