[Spacewalk-list] Repo woes

[Dimitri Yioulos]

H, all.

I recently upgraded Spacewalk to the latest and greatest 
from version 1.8.  Unfortunately, the upgrade didn't go 
well, and all of my settings were lost.  The silver lining 
here is that, by recreating everything, I learned a lot 
(or, at least, refreshed my memory).

However, I'm having a problem getting on recreated 
cahnnel/repo working.  Many of our Linux boxes use Samba; 
the packages come from Sernet.  I created the channel and 
repo for my CentOS 5 systems, but the repo won't sync.  
When I try to sync from the command line, here's the output 
I get:

spacewalk-repo-sync --channel sernet-samba-el5 --type yum

Linking packages to channel.
ERROR: Package arch x86_64 incompatible with channel 
sernet-samba-el5
Sync completed.
Total time: 0:00:06

The machines to be updated are 32-bit.  I chose IA-32 as the 
Architecture, and the repo url is 
http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5.  If I make it 
http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5/i386, I 
get "ERROR: Cannot retrieve repository metadata 
(repomd.xml) for repostory: sernet-samba-el5. Please verify 
its path and try again.

What's frustrating is that I did have this working before.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
