[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk-repo-sync gives me an error

[Jerome Yanga]

Hi!

Newbee here.

I have created a Software Channel via WebUI.

Channel Name:  fedora_13_32bit
Channel Label:  fedora_13_x86
Architecture:  IA-32 (this is weird as i see a x86_64 in the drop down
menu but not i386)
Yum Repository Checksum Type:  sha1

I have also create a Repository via WebUI.

Repository Label:  fedora_13_x86_repo
Repository URL:
http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/fedora/linux/releases/13/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml

I have linked the channel with the repo.  I then tried running the
command below.

spacewalk-repo-sync --channel=fedora_13_x86
--url=http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/fedora/linux/releases/13/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml

This command gave me the following error.

I have the following installed.

# yum list installed | egrep -i "spacewalk-oracle|spacewalk-utils"
spacewalk-oracle.noarch            1.7.3-1.el6             @spacewalk
spacewalk-utils.noarch             1.7.15-1.el6            @spacewalk

I am running on...

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)

Help.
