[Spacewalk-list] E: The repository 'spacewalk://spacewalk channels: Release' does not have a Release file. || Please HELP (Spacewalk 2.6 and Ubuntu 1604)

[Luis Lopez]

Hi there,

No matter what I do, for some reason the spacewalk server won't let the
releases be detected.

I've used pretty much the only guide around:
http://www.devops-blog.net/spacewalk/registering-ubuntu-and-debian-servers-with-spacewalk

And to release/sign the packages I went with secureApt.sh from here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2017-March/msg00055.html

The error keeps telling me that the repository is insecure and that it
can't find the Release.

I used this script to sign and release:

*# based on Packages and Packages.gz files*

*# The created files make the repo a "signed" repo*

*# Changed Input for independent distributions and made a loop for all

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks.
