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

[Brian Collins]

Have you tried 'yum clean expire-cache' and then re-running either yum update or rhn_check?

I am experimenting with 1.7 release by feeding updates to two fedora 16 systems. One (i386) behaves as expected and another (x86_64) does not see any updates from spacewalk however spacewalk side is not showing any abnormalities. Right now it reports 20+ packages needs an update but neither scheduling an update and running rhn_check nor running yum update on a target system results in any updates.

Here is the output of rhn_check -vvv
