[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.3 keeps showing upgradable packages

Hi!

I have upgraded successfully from 2.2 to 2.3 two weeks ago. I have even
scheduled several updates through spacewalk since then.

However, since yesterday I have noticed that there are several systems
which are shown with upgradable packages even though the system is up to
date.

1. "yum update" on the system shows no updates. "yum list" or "rpm -ql"
show that the latest package is already installed.

2. spacewalk shows identical "latest package" and "installed package"
versions in the list of upgradable packages, e.g.:

>  	Latest Package 	Installed Package 	Related Errata
> 	firefox-38.0.1-1.el6.centos.x86_64 	firefox-38.0.1-1.el6.centos.x86_64 	
> 	postgresql94-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64 	postgresql94-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64 	
> 	postgresql94-libs-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64 	postgresql94-libs-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64 	
> 	postgresql94-server-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64 	postgresql94-server-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64 

3. If I click on the link for the latest package, take a not of the
"pid" in the URL, then show the list of installed packages in spacewalk
and click on the link for the package installed, it shows the identical
"pid" in the URL, i.e. I would assume it's in fact the identical package.

4. I ran "rhn-profile-sync" on the system, but not difference.

5. If I schedule an upgrade of the suggested upgradable packages, the
logs on the system show that nothing is done as the packages are already
installed.

6. I see no errors in the logs on the spacewalk server.

Any ideas how to further troubleshoot this?

Spacewalk Server 2.3 on CentOS 6 with local PostgreSQL database.
Spacewalk 2.3 clients on CentOS 5 and 6.

Thanks,

Gerald
