[Spacewalk-list] remove package in spacewalk repo

[Dennis Pittman]

To add to the last response you may have to remove the package if it's still listed in a softwarechannel

spacecmd package_detail libmspack-0.7 # list the details about the package
spacecmd package_remove libmspack-0.7  # remove the package.  This will work when the remove_orphan does not, If the package is not orphaned

Hello,

To clarify, are you referring to packages that have been downloaded locally and pushed to Spacewalk?  If so, an unwanted package that is no longer part of a software channel can be listed and removed as follows:

spacecmd package_listorphans
spacecmd package_removeorphans

This will check for dependencies and remove it from both the Spacewalk database as well as the filesystem.  You can also check the filesystem against the database and vice versa as follows:

spacewalk-data-fsck -f
spacewalk-data-fsck -d

Hi,

It is possible to remove unwanted package in spacewalk repository?
In my dev-epel channel there's a package that is no longer available (libmspack-0.7).

Could I delete it? Can it result a dependency problem?...and how to do that?

Thank in advance
Regards,
J.
