[Spacewalk-list] Unable to Download Packages from Spacewalk Server

Hello All-

 

I recently updated to 1.5 from 1.3 (upgraded to 1.4 in the middle) and am
now seeing some problems when downloading packages on clients, although I
don't necessarily think this is because of the upgrade.  While upgrading, I
also cleaned out my channels and let them resync as I have done in the past
without issue, but I think it's causing problems this time.  I can do a yum
update and the clients will see the packages that they need to download,
however when it actually attempts to download them it fails on every package
with errors like the one below:

 

2:vim-X11-7.0.109-7.el5.x86_64: failed to retrieve
getPackage/vim-X11-7.0.109-7.el5.x86_64.rpm from centos5-os-x86_64

error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found

 

If I look on the server web ui, I can see the packages in question with all
of the proper information but the download link shows "Download: Missing
File: vim-X11-7.0.109-7.el5.x86_64.rpm"

 

In httpd error log I see the message 

 

"RHN 22481 2011/09/20 10:03:13 -04:00: ('Package not found',
'/var/satellite/redhat/1/df8/vim-enhanced/7.0.109-7.el5/x86_64/df818f5c6561f
ac037cd50ba0f39ec9a/vim-enhanced-7.0.109-7.el5.x86_64.rpm')" 

 

The file location is indeed different.  The actual path is
"/var/satellite/redhat/1/df8/2:7.0.109-7.el5/." however on other packages
the reported path is correct but the Missing File message in the download
link still appears.  I am really confused as to what's going on here and
this behavior persists even if I make new channels and sync  again.  Any
insight is appreciated, thanks.
