[Spacewalk-list] Fwd: rhn_check fails in el5

[James Stocker]

Right, I think I have solved it, I did indeed need to update rhnlib, but
since the client couldn't see the new channel Spacewalk wanted it to update
from, it couldn't get this package. Since the repo file was still looking
for the 2.2 channel for updates it couldn't see the new version. I manually
changed the repo to look for 2.3 files, then updated rhnlib, rhn_check now
works (as well as all the other issues I had which were clearly related)

Thank you Pierre!
