[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk-data-fsck not working

[Steve Meier]

Thank you, Tony! That was the missing step.

Deleting the packages from the channel only unlinked them but did not 
remove them from the database.
Going to "Manage Software Packages" and removing them once more finally 
purged them.

Afterwards I ran spacewalk-data-fsck once more, which produced the 
expected result:

[root at spacewalk ~]# spacewalk-data-fsck -fr
Removed file missing in db: 
/var/satellite/redhat/1/a2b/kernel-doc/2.6.32-642.4.2.el6/noarch/a2b8e7402c375a214974398310b3337e1b6bfd75732048436b0be84358fc0151/kernel-doc-2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.noarch.rpm

[root at spacewalk ~]# find /var/satellite -name 'kernel-doc*' -type f
[root at spacewalk ~]#

Again, thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

Kind regards,
