[Spacewalk-list] anyone else unable to update clients since bugzilla #1182337

[Linder, Rolf]

Dear spacewalkers

In the last time (after the issue from "nss-softokn" updates? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182337 / https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=214791&f=13#p214791 ) we keep having issues with spacewalk-nodes being kickstarted and then updated via spacewalk.

State is as follows (reproducible):


1.       Kickstart centos 6.6 node (x86_84, spacewalk 2.2 client & server)

2.       Schedule update via Spacewalk WebUI

3.       After some running time, "rhn_check" is still there but not doing any work and spacewalk will never complete the update action.

>From our last run, we just could catch the strace-output prior to the rhn_check on the node just before it stopped working:

at this time there won't be any progress.
Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Thank you very much!
