[Spacewalk-list] error populating transaction

[Lachlan Musicman]

I also had this problem, but with a different solution.

The files weren't actually there - they had been moved/disappeared when I
discovered a configuration snafu when setting up. When we set up we had
added packages to the parent Channel, but then decided to keep the parent
channel clear, and only populate child channels. When we cleared the
packages out of the parent channel (they still existed in the child
channel!), the download would fail and then the install would fail.

A re-configuration and confirming that the packages were still in the child
channel was sufficient.

Doesn't sound like this is your issue - but check to make sure the
kickstart is subscribed to the channel the package is in.

Cheers
L.
