[Spacewalk-list] Antwort: Re: Old spacewalk-channels in /var/cache/yum

[Matthias Gruber]

Hi!

I just seeked a bit around, yes /var/cache/yum seems only used by yum, 
spacewalk has no business in this part.

Found an old KB-Entry at RedHat concerning this problem.
yum clean all doesnt helped fully in that case because yum only has a look 
into rhnplugin.repos and deletes what it founds there, therefore it keeps 
the old channels because they are not listed  there.

Since it is only the cache I empties as stated in the KB-entry and simply 
did a yum repolist to recreate rhe rhnplugin.repos
I put that into my update-scripts

Cheers
Matthias

Hi,

Isn't /var/cache/yum only used by yum? That is the cache for the machine 
itself and is not used by spacewalk-server.
This cache can be cleaned up by "yum clean all". More details are in "man 
yum".

The packages of spacewalk-server are in /var/satellite (or whatever you 
have as mount_point in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf). 
spacewalk-data-fsck will remove unneeded packages at this location.
