[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk lists Ubuntu-packages where epoch is set as Extra Packages

[Philipp Born]

Hello,

it looks like this problem sits somewhere between the client when 
submitting installed packages and the server when inserting the received 
package list into the database.

All packages with epoch set have no associated package_id in 
rhnServerPackage, but there are also a few that have no epoch and are 
also missing their package_id.

The missing package_id is the reason why the packages are listed as 
"Extra Packages" and why they are not included in the update-checks.

Still hoping I'll find out what's the problem here.

Best regards
Philipp
