[Spacewalk-list] Duplicate packages in selection and spacewalk

[Andreas Dijkman]

Yes, that worked! I’ve added the saltstack channel again but didn’t include it in the kickstart key or kickstart profile. That worked.

Now I only have to create a saltstack-state that adds that channel and starts the salt-stack-stuff. Thanks for the workaround!

Kind regards,

Andreas Dijkman

Not optimal, but a possibility.  I do this for things that I really can’t determine until run time, like installing the HP Proliant Support Pack.

Everything works fine until I try to kickstart a system using PXE or ISO. Somehow the SpaceWalk-system is confused about duplicate packages that are the same in versions but not in hash. In my case it first breaks on the package pciutils. I think Spacewalk decides to serve the wrong package during installation so anaconda is complaining it can’t find the correct package. SaltStack isn’t playing nice because in their repo they are supplying the same packages as used in CentOS. But the packages from Oracle Linux and CentOS are different from each other.
