[Spacewalk-list] Updating a system

[Daryl Rose]

Waldirio,

Yes, the client is registered with SW.  Here is the output from yum
repolist:

I had looked in /var/log/messages for errors, but nothing.  I did not see
the /var/log/up2date, but now that you point me in that direction, I found
something.

<class 'yum.Errors.RepoError'>: Cannot retrieve repository metadata
(repomd.xml) for repository: centos-65-base-x86_64. Please verify its path
and try again


Okay, this gives me something to go on.  What path is it looking for?  The
machine is registered.  I can see it in SW and as demonstrated in yum
repolist, the machine is registered with the correct channel.

Thanks

Daryl
