[Spacewalk-list] Extended error messages during package upgrades?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Glen,

So in SW webui you can see details about this !?, for example when you
click in this message (Could not ....) you can see the reason because the
package was not installed !?

If yes, you can get this kind of information via spacecmd or api, btw you
can open a new BZ as enhancement to this new feature.

Take Care and Merry X'mas
