[Spacewalk-list] Foreign packages leaked to RHEL Channel

[Jens Neu]

Dear all,

I am running Spacewalk 1.5 (on CentOS 5.7, against full Oracle 11g) with 
Centos 5, 6 and Fedora 16 Channels for some time now. I also use the 
centos-errata.py (0.8.1) script (
https://github.com/davidnutter/Centos-Errata) to import CentOS Errata 
which works fine for me.

Additionally I have several RHEL 5 machines with valid subscriptions, 
these I run against mrepo on one of them. Now, I would like the RHEL 5 
machines also be managed with Spacewalk, so I created a RHEL 5 Channel, 
synced it to my local mrepo, fired up rhn-clone-errata.py; easy enough, 
piece of cake, seemed to work fine.

But: for some reason I see CentOS packages in my freshly created RHEL 
Channel. This thread 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2011-August/msg00149.html 
tells me that I'm not crazy, and since the CentOS Packages show up after 
Errata publishing I also had a suspicion about whats going on.

Now: how can I fix this? This behaviour pretty much prevents running RHEL 
and CentOS Channels on a single Spacewalk...

best regards
Jens
