[Spacewalk-list] SpaceWalk 2.7 no updates available in GUI no updates on clientss

[Berrigan, Patrick M]

The systems are not up to date. For example I take one brand newly deployed CentOS 7 machine and run a yum update and I see about 200 MB worth of packages that need to be updated. If I take that same machine and register it with the Spacewalk server that has updated repos from the same repos listed in /etc/yum.repos.d/ it shows No packages marked for update.

Are there any packages listed as "installed" for the registered systems?

Run a "rhn-profile-sync -vvvv" on a client. This should update the package list from the client on the server.

Also look at the task schedules in "Admin" - "Task Schedule" if all tasks have run AND ended within the last day.

Edit:

Ah... Just remember...I think there was a bug in c3po package which "might" cause this and must be downgraded on CentOS 7. Please search the mailing list archives for that package
