[Spacewalk-list] all packages listed as upgradable on debian 9 and ubuntu 1604

[Andrei Popenta]

Hi guys

i'm running spacewalk 2.7 with debian 8, debian 9 and ubuntu 16.04 channels.

one problem I am facing is that if apt uses
only /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spacewalk.list as lists when I run apt update
it shows that 400 packages are available for upgrade.
If I add the official sources in /etc/apt/sources.list it shows that only
29 packages are available for upgrade which is true.
This happens both for debian 9 and ubuntu 16.04.
Debian 8 is not affected by this.

I know that someone else has faced this issue before, as I noticed 2
comments on this article
http://www.devops-blog.net/spacewalk/registering-ubuntu-and-debian-servers-with-spacewalk
but couldn't find any solution for it.

Do you know what might cause this ?

I have added Dirk's workaround mentioned
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1243387
to  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50spacewalk.

thanks,
Andrei
