[Spacewalk-list] Error While Kickstarting

[George]

Hello,

recently I encountered the same behavior,
did you find a solution for this in the end?
It seems to be a terrible problem from which I cannot seem to recover 
... I tried deleting all packages from a channel, deleting the repodata 
cache and re-fetching the whole lot and rebuilding repodata to no avail.
One train of thought is that it has something to do with proxy stuff ... 
but I am not so sure how spacewalk exactly works on that part ... I know 
the httpd runs an proxy_ajp module or something but not sure how this 
all plays together ...

I am at a complete loss here ... if I can't get it fixed in due time I 
see no other option but to install a new spacewalk server and redo my 
whole setup :-(

centos 5.10 x86_64 with spacewalk 2.0 (upgraded a couple of months ago 
from 1.6, but up to now it looked to run fine ... )

I checked httpd logs but they just say similar things like described 
below a code 206 and no relevant errors in the catalina.out either.

I tried with several -working fine up to last week- profiles but none 
seem to want to install.

Regards,

G.
