[Spacewalk-list] How to use Spacewalk to upgrade RHEL to higher version(s)?

[Hamilton, James]

I would not recommend doing this and i know it is not supported.  It will most likely not go smoothly either but if you enjoy troubleshooting and dont plan to put any of those systems in production, go for it.

Thanks
Jim

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] How to use Spacewalk to upgrade RHEL to higher version(s)?

Hi,

I've tried to upgrade rhel 5 to rhel 6 for both i386 and x86 systems, but none of them working. What I have done were:

(1) Attach the higher version's channel to the client in Spacewalk server.
(2) Use 'yum upgrade' from the Spacewalk client.

Here are some errors from 'yum update':

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any idea? Thank you in advance!
