[Spacewalk-list] Heads up on Centos 6

[fsosson at gmail.com]

Guys,

I got troubles to sync CentOS 6 repo to Spacewalk 1.4 channel.  When I
try to sync CentOS 6 from different ftp mirrors using spacewalk
command "spacewalk-repo-sync" I get this message " 'Unable to load
package', 'Invalid information uploaded to the server' " for 38
packages.  When I check, these 38 packages are not named correctly.

For example, sync command is looking for
"compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6-0.i686" package but only
"compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686" is available.
