[Spacewalk-list] Cannot install updates on spacewalk client

[Robert Paschedag]

Please go to

Channels -> manage software channels -> manage software packages

Select your channel with problematic packages

Can you find the packages in there?

If yes, remove the packages from the channel. If that works, go to the same view
and search for "packages in no channels". Your previously remove packages should show up.
Finally delete these packages from spacewalk and try to resync.

Robert
