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

Thu Aug 29 11:47:54 UTC 2019

Hi

Yes, there is no solution for this. As far as I understood, the way Ubuntu names some their packages doesn’t make it easy to solve this problem in Spacewalk.

I can live with this. I only have a couple of Ubuntu systems registered and for APT this is not an issue.

If it bothers you, I guess you could remove the packages from the channels and exclude them in the repository configuration so they wouldn’t show up in Spacewalk anymore. You would have to check the package dependencies first to make sure you don’t break anything.

Regards,
Javier

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:
