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

[Glennie, Jonathan - 0443 - MITLL]

Is there a way to run the spacewalk-data-fsck command or something similar and tell it to remove packages listed in the DB that aren't in the file system?

Run:
spacewalk-data-fsck --remove

And sync missing packages again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I gave it a try.  After the resync, behavior still presents itself.  I then removed all of the packages from all channels on the web UI, then I moved the /var/satellite directory aside.  I ran spacewalk-data-fsck again and I still see the files reported as missing.
It's almost as if the database is screwed up and the file lists aren't being removed/updated in there.  Shouldn't it be not seeing any files to remove since the channels aren't supposed to have anything in them?

Spacewalk-data-fsck -v
File missing:
