[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk syncing against wrong repository

Thu Aug 10 15:15:36 UTC 2017

Update:  

I was able to fix this by renaming the repo on the hosting server itself...not 
spacewalk.  I do not understand what caused this.  I have played around with 
this a bit and created another repo with the original name......and spacewalk 
did exactly the same thing as outlined below.
