[Spacewalk-list] Publishing errata problem

[ŚLIPEK Krzysztof]

Hello,
All packages are synced with RHN:

...
kernel-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5.x86_64  The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)  Red Hat Inc.  
kernel-2.6.18-308.4.1.el5.x86_64  The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)  Red Hat Inc.  
kernel-2.6.18-308.8.1.el5.x86_64  The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)  Red Hat Inc.  
kernel-2.6.18-308.8.2.el5.x86_64  The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)  Red Hat Inc.  

All errata are cloned from RHN, but errata with kernel kernel-2.6.18-308.8.2.el5.x86_64 is not published:

RHSA-2012:0690:R5-64  Important: kernel security and bug fix update  <- published
RHSA-2012:0721:R5-64  Important: kernel security update   <- not published

Client server has kernel-2.6.18-308.4.1.el5.x86_64 installed and I want to install kernel-2.6.18-308.8.1.el5.x86_64 (not latest kernel-2.6.18-308.8.2.el5.x86_64).
If I go to client Server -> Software -> Packages -> Upgrade (or Install) I can see only latest version kernel-2.6.18-308.8.2.el5.x86_64.
If I go to client Server -> Software -> Errata I can see no errata with kernel - probably if I publish RHSA-2012:0721:R5-64 I will see it but why I don't see RHSA-2012:0690:R5-64 which is published?

I know I can install what I want by yum command.

Best regards,
Chris

Hello,
not sure if I understood your question. But, do you have packages/erratas synced correctly from Red Hat (rhn.redhat.com)?

Do you see the package in:
  Channels -> <channel_where_that_kernel_should_be> -> Packages

Do you see the errata in:
  Channels -> <channel_where_that_kernel_should_be> -> Errata

Do you see updated kernel package in:
  Systems -> <your_system_with_old_kernel> -> Software -> Packages -> Upgrade

Do you see the errata in:
  Systems -> <your_system_with_old_kernel> -> Software -> Errata

Also, you are using old Spacewalk version, so you might want to upgrade to get all available fixes.

Regards,
Jan
