[Spacewalk-list] Products Not Available For Install

[Gerald Vogt]

That is the channel information. You have to check the repositories 
associated with the channel. It seems you have the software channel set 
to the centos 6.9 repositories and a 3.28.4-4 was installed from 
"centos6-base-x86_64" it also seems that you have mixed the base and 
updates repositories into the same channel.

Check which repositories have been linked to the software channel and 
the URLs of those repositories configured. I guess you link to 6.9.

spacewalk-common-channels is a command-line tool which allows you to set 
up common channels like centos automatically. If you use that it'll use 
the correct URLs and also properly splits the different centos 
repositories into separate channels...

Cheers,

Gerald
