[Spacewalk-list] Issues upgrading to next point release

[Ree, Jan-Albert van]

I have a Spacewalk server with around 20 clients running for about 6 month now.
I use Scientific Linux 6 both for the spacewalk server and all clients. A repository have been set up to fetch updates from http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/scientificlinux/6x/x86_64/updates/security/

Now my base image is based on SL 6.2 and so far all updates have gone just fine.
However now that updates tagged with 6.3 are coming out my Spacewalk server shows these updates as being available, but I am unable to apply them to my clients. If I do a 'yum clean all ; yum upgrade' I get '0 updates available'

After playing with this, I discovered that if I manually upgrade the sl-release RPM and then re-register the machine, it will pick up the updates, but surely that's not how this is supposed to work. If I don't re-register the machine after manually updating I get a lot of RHN errors, since fields in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file no longer match.

Did I miss something? Thanks in advance,
