[Spacewalk-list] Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml)

Mon Nov 30 10:49:15 UTC 2015

Hello, 

the most stupid question is the answer!!! 

The issue was the following: 

no_proxy="*.domain1.de,*.domain2.de,*.domain3.de" 

Had to be changed to: 

no_proxy=".domain1.de,.domain2.de,.domain3.de" 

The funny fact: I have systems, which are working with the first configuration line. And then there are some systems that arent working with this ... 

But finally it worked!!! 

Thanks :)

It may sound stupid, but are you using a proxy or something on the 3 servers having problems ? 
If so, is it properly set ?

I had this issue and restarting the spacewalk server solved it.
