[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 1.8 - problems retrieving certain packages

[Metathronius Galabant]

Hi all,

Spacewalk 1.8 on CentOS 6 with postgres 8.4.13.
As client I've tested both 1.7.X and 1.8.4 yum plugins.


#> yum install ant
[...]
Error Downloading Packages:
  xerces-j2-2.7.1-7jpp.2.el5_4.2.x86_64: failed to retrieve
getPackage/xerces-j2-2.7.1-7jpp.2.el5_4.2.x86_64.rpm from
centos5.9-base-64
error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
  java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115.x86_64: failed to retrieve
getPackage/java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115.x86_64.rpm from
centos5.9-base-64
error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
[...] (more packages failing, but not all)

Correlate that with request log on server:

We only have a 0:1.4.2.0-40jpp.115/ directory as opposed to the
expected 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115/

Channel + repo have been freshly created and freshly synced; some
packages are accessible, some aren't -- the problems is always the
same: the directory has a 0: or a 1: PREpended.


Any thoughts or pointers? I haven't found this problem at all anywhere else.

Cheers,
