[Spacewalk-list] Issues with SW 2.8 and Ubuntu 18.04 Clients

[Thomas Müller]

Hi,
who may give me a hint for solving the following issue?
Ubuntu 18.04 Clients on SW 2.8 want to update some packages:

Neuestes Paket (new)
 Installiertes Paket (installed)

gcc-8-base-8-20180414-1ubuntu2.amd64-deb
 gcc-8-base-8.3.0-6ubuntu1~18.04.1.amd64-deb
libgcc1-8-20180414-1ubuntu2:1.amd64-deb
libgcc1-8.3.0-6ubuntu1~18.04.1:1.amd64-deb
libpython2.7-2.7.15~rc1-1ubuntu0.1.amd64-deb
libpython2.7-2.7.15-4ubuntu4~18.04.amd64-deb
libpython2.7-minimal-2.7.15~rc1-1ubuntu0.1.amd64-deb
libpython2.7-minimal-2.7.15-4ubuntu4~18.04.amd64-deb
libpython2.7-stdlib-2.7.15~rc1-1ubuntu0.1.amd64-deb
libpython2.7-stdlib-2.7.15-4ubuntu4~18.04.amd64-deb
libstdc++6-8-20180414-1ubuntu2.amd64-deb
libstdc++6-8.3.0-6ubuntu1~18.04.1.amd64-deb
python2.7-2.7.15~rc1-1ubuntu0.1.amd64-deb
python2.7-2.7.15-4ubuntu4~18.04.amd64-deb
python2.7-minimal-2.7.15~rc1-1ubuntu0.1.amd64-deb
python2.7-minimal-2.7.15-4ubuntu4~18.04.amd64-deb

But, the installed packages are newer (from bionic-update main channel)

I've applied all known tricks and workarounds for .deb packagehandling
(multiarch-.headers, gpg-signing).

A comparison between the patched Packages in
/var/cache/rhn/repodata/<channel> and the original shows multi-arch headers
in both files:

Client packages are from OBS, see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2018-September/msg00059.html

Client does'nt (of course) do a downgrade, error:

D: handle_action actionid = 394, version = 2
D: do_call packages.update([['gcc-8-base', '8-20180414', '1ubuntu2', '',

D: Called update[['gcc-8-base', '8-20180414', '1ubuntu2', '', 'amd64-deb']]
