[Spacewalk-list] yum update does not see any new packages from a spacewalk server.

[Jan Hutař]

Hello,
when you do `yum repolist` on the client, do you see there are
some packages in the channels in question? And what `yum list
updates` says?

And on the Spacewalk server, what says `ls
-al /var/spool/rhn/repodata/*`?

Regards,
Jan
