[Spacewalk-list] Problems while deleting Packages no longer present in channels

[Souvignier, Daniel]

Hi Stephen,

exactly that, but the packages won't disappear. It doesn't matter how small
the batches of packages are. The process works for some time and then
disappears showing the 500 in the webinterface. Other suggestions?

Kind regards,
Daniel Souvignier

Hi Daniel,

Did you get the 500 a few minutes after you clicked the button? That
probably just means that the connection timed out while waiting for the
operation to complete, which shouldn't affect the actual deleting of the
packages. They should disappear eventually. Look at 'top' or something to
see if the process is still running. Failing that, you can try deleting them
in smaller batches.
