[Spacewalk-list] Products Not Available For Install

[Gerald Vogt]

Your server uses the centos repositories directly to obtain updates, 
i.e. it doesn't use spacewalk.

Your client connects to the spacewalk server which uses the software 
channel centos6-base-x86_64. It seems your channels does not contain 
current version, i.e. it probably does not sync correctly with the 
centos repositories.

Make sure your software channels have repositories configured and those 
repositories have syncs scheduled.

Also make sure that you not only have a base channel but also the 
updates channel for the updates repository.

Why didn't you use spacewalk-common-channels to set up common channels 
like the CentOS?

Cheers,

Gerald
