[Spacewalk-list] SLES11 SP2: Problem with SLES11 SP2 Repository -repomd.xml not found

[Sabine.Jordan at der.net]

Hello list,

 

after upgrading to spacewalk 1.8 the problem disappeared...

 

I can now refresh the repository in question:

 

uwe01:/var/log/zypp # zypper ref sles11-sp2

Retrieving repository 'sles11-sp2' metadata [done]

Building repository 'sles11-sp2' cache [done]

Specified repositories have been refreshed.

 

Greetings, Sabine

Betreff: [Spacewalk-list] SLES11 SP2: Problem with SLES11 SP2 Repository
-repomd.xml not found

 

Hello list,

 

since I haven't found a possibility to install spacewalk on SLES11 SP1 I
have updated to SP2. I've registered 2 server running sles11 sp2 to
spacewalk base channel sles11_sp2 (including sles11_sdk_sp2,
sles11_sdk_sp2_updates, sles11_sp2_updates as child-channels which are
working fine), but I've still got a problem with the base channel.

 

I can repo-sync the base channel on the spacewalk server without any
problem:

 

[root at spacewalk logs]# spacewalk-repo-sync --channel sles11_sp2

Repo URL:
https://user:pw@nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLES11-SP2-Core/sle-11-x86_64/

Packages in repo:               739

No new packages to sync.

Repo
https://user:pw@nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLES11-SP2-Core/sle-11-x86_64/
has 0 errata.

Sync completed.

Total time: 0:00:36

 

But, when I try to refresh my repository on the Client, I do get the
following error:

 

uwe01:/var/log/zypp # zypper ref -f sles11-sp2

Forcing raw metadata refresh

Retrieving repository 'sles11-sp2' metadata [\]

Btw.: on the Client the repos look like this

# zypper lr

Refreshing of the Child Channels on client side is also working fine...

 

# zypper ref sles11_sp2_updates

Repository 'sles11_sp2_updates' is up to date.

Specified repositories have been refreshed.

 

Of course I get the same error, when I try to install updates from
SLES11-SP1 Base Channels via Spacewalk GUI (updates from child channels
are also working fine):

 

Refreshing service 'spacewalk'.

File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium
'http://spacewalk.der.de/XMLRPC/GET-REQ/sles11_sp2?head_requests=no'

 

Repository 'sles11-sp2' is invalid.

[|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)

Disabling repository 'sles11-sp2' because of the above error.

Loading repository data...

Reading installed packages...

Package 'yast2-installation-2.17.99-0.5.22' not found.

 

I don't think that the Uri is invalid, because I can successfully sync
the repo on the server, as shown above.

 

Now, when I look at the basic channel details from the spacewalk GUI
I've noticed the following for the channel sles11_sp2:

 

Last Repo Build:               (none) 

Repo Cache Status:        In Progress 

 

When compared with other channels, e.g. the Child Channel
"sles11_sdk_sp2" it says:

 

Last Repo Build:               2012-11-02 13:46:43 CET

Repo Cache Status:        Completed

 

Can anybody help, please?

 

Greetings from Germany, Sabine
