[Spacewalk-list] discrepancy between web interface and yum

[Robin Beardsley]

Thanks Bill.  The problem was a stuck taskomatic process and a corrupt cache.  After restarting spacewalk all of my repo's synced up and it appears everything is working again.

Some things to check/verify:

  *   Verify the repos reporting packages available for update via yum are the same repos in the Spacewalk web portal.
  *   Taskomatic might be behind/stuck/stale. Try giving all the Spacewalk server services a restart and force the system to check in again. Wait a few minutes for the changes to reflect in the web portal.
     *   Tail the taskomatic log during all of this to see if there are any issues.
  *   Verify you are not having any repo sync/errata sync issues



I have see discrepancies somewhat like this in the past when there have been taskomatic issues and/or reposync issues. (IE packages downloaded, but security errata did not, causing strange display behavior)



Good Luck!
