Hi,

because I just upgraded from SW 2.4 to 2.7 I'm still using Steve Meier's "spacewalk-debian-sync" script to import Debian packages .I also tried to import Debian repos with spacewalk-repo-sync but that often had errors importing many packages. Someone then suggested, to use the script from Steve for the first, large import and then switch to SW default script. That should work, but I did not yet test it.
