[Spacewalk-list] Error Downloading Packages From Channel Behind Proxy

[Wojtak, Greg (Superfly)]

No, these are the RHN plugin repos.  My CentOS, spacewalk, and epel repo files are all enabled = 0.  I got back to my desk this evening and saw someone had posted the message in chat:

"I have an odd problem with my proxies since upgrading to 1.8.  Since the repo sync ran, no system registered through a proxy can do updates on my EPEL or SW client channels.  I get 404s from the proxy.  Systems registered directly to my SW server are fine.  Anyone else seen this?"

This is exactly what I am seeing - it is only the spacewalk client and epel repos.  CentOS updates and base channels are providing packages just fine through the proxy.  Seems I'm not the only one having this problem.

Is this an /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo issue?
All .repo files should contain enabled=0?

I'm getting an error when I try to update packages from a certain channel on systems behind a spacewalk proxy.  I'm getting the following when updating/installing:

# yum update yum-rhn-plugin

I get this only for 1 or 2 different channels behind the proxy.  Others work fine.  All software channels work fine for all systems communicating directly to the spacewalk server, ie not behind a proxy.

Any ideas where I can begin to debug this?  This is spacewalk 1.8 on centos 6 64-bit postgres back end.
