[Spacewalk-list] PXE failure

[Macklin, Jason]

Hi Paul,

Just some more information... in trying to track down which files to
delete, I noticed that the version the anaconda installer is looking for is
actually older then the version in my channels.  For example, anaconda gets
hung up looking for iputils-20071127-16.el6_4.2.x86_64, but the only
version of this package on my spacewalk server
is iputils-20071127-17.el6_4.2.x86_64.  What am I missing here?  Do I need
to update my build distro perhaps?  I'm really confused as to how and why
the RPM repos/channels get so easily out of sync with my PXE build distro.
 Maybe I'm not understanding the connection properly?  Again, thank you for
your time and responses!

Cheers,
Jason
