[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk syncing against wrong repository

Tue Aug 15 02:51:32 UTC 2017

Eric,

I ran into a similar issue and resolved it by removing files on the 
Spacewalk server at /var/cache/rhn/ .

After that, a channel sync forced the cache to rebuild.

I am betting that you are seeing the cache get corrupt somehow and by 
renaming the source repos, its generating a new cache for the repo.
