[Spacewalk-list] conflicting distributions for ubuntu trusty and lingering packages that still show as upgradable in console

[lravelo at us.hellmann.net]

Good morning Everyone,

I've been able to push updates to an Ubuntu Trusty box that I've been 
testing Spacewalk with and am running into some issues.  The first issue 
I've run into is when running an "apt-get update".  It will give me a 
conflicting distribution warning:

W: Conflicting distribution: spacewalk://spacewalk.domain trusty-security 
Release (expected trusty-security but got trusty)
W: Conflicting distribution: spacewalk://spacewalk.domain trusty-updates 
Release (expected trusty-updates but got trusty)
W: Conflicting distribution: spacewalk://spacewalk.domain trusty-backports 
Release (expected trusty-backports but got trusty)

Not too many of threads online that I've been able to get some useful 
information from in order to resolve it and not even sure this is a deal 
breaker.  I've run and "apt-get clean" and recreated the 
/var/lib/apt/lists directory but still the issue persists.

My next issue is with package installation.  I've been able to deploy the 
packages from the spacewalk console but I'm still left two packages:

adduser-3.113ubuntu2-X.all-deb
python-debian-0.1.21ubuntu1-X.all-deb

However, the console shows that the following two are the packages 
installed:

adduser-3.113+nmu3ubuntu3-0.all-deb 
python-debian-0.1.21+nmu2ubuntu2-0.all-deb 

Seems like the latest versions are installed but I don't understand enough 
about the naming convention of debian packages to know the difference 
here. 

Related to this is the fact that if I do an apt-get upgrade on the box, 
there are some packages that show up that are not listed in the spacewalk 
console.  If I try to upgrade them from there, I'll get a 404 Not Found 
error.  Let's take one of the packages, for example:

E: Failed to fetch 
spacewalk://spacewalk.domain/XMLRPC/GET-REQ/trusty-updates/getPackage/vim-2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1.amd64-deb.deb 
 404  Not Found

If I run a "dpkg -s vim" on the client I'll get the following:

Package: vim
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: editors
Installed-Size: 2185
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss at lists.ubuntu.com>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3

So it seems like there is a discrepancy between the client and server 
regarding what packages are installed.  Anyone else have any experience 
with this?
