[Spacewalk-list] "Architecture" problem with SL 6.3

[Andreas Kelle-Emden]

Hi,

but because the release no longer matches the contents of
/etc/sysconfig/systemid

sl-release RPM

This still is ok. Anyway, the release is outdated.

spacewalk channels ... are you sure you are getting updates from the right
repository directory?)

How would you suppose to run dist-upgrades then? I was quite happy to get
this done without having to deal with kickstart etc.

Up to now, I only have the 6.3 repositories mirrored in Spacewalk. Running
the dist-upgrade without Spacewalk worked out fine - it's just a little work
to update all of the machines by hand. ;-)
