[Spacewalk-list] Fedora 16 client not getting updates from Spacewalk 1.6

[Jonathan DeHaan]

If you run 'rm -rf /var/cache/yum/i686/16/*' on the client, does that 
fix it?

I haven't upgraded to SW 1.6, but on 1.5, the yum cache for 
yum-rhn-plugin is not properly cleared by 'yum clean all', and it may 
take some time for the client to update it's cache of the available 
packages from SW.
