[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Channels not

[Jonathan Horne]

its been a few months since i last built a new CentOS7 system via my spacewalk server, but this past week i tried to build a new one over PXE and now i am getting strange errors.

if i use my existing profiles (which include other child channels like updates, EPEL7, etc) it hangs with this error in the packaging log:


14:17:53,301 WARN packaging: 1:NetworkManager-1.12.0-8.el7_6.x86_64 requires glib2 >= 2.56.1

14:17:53,302 WARN packaging: nss-3.36.0-7.1.el7_6.x86_64 requires nspr >= 4.19.0


upon verifying packages in both the package search in the spacewalk gui as well as double checking files in the file system on the spacewalk server, the package at a higher revision is there.  i made a new test profile which only included base and updates, and got the same error.  if i remove the updates channel, it tries to proceed, then hangs with


Error populating transaction and fails 10 times, in this case trying to find 3.10.0-862.el7 when in fact the kernel in the repo for the base install is 3.10.0-957.el7.

in troubleshooting i have deleted all my existing centos repo files (but not the actual channels) and re-run spacewalk-repo-sync, but it seems like anaconda is pulling some really old package list that is no longer current to the physical rpm files that are there.

i have googled and googled, but have not found the solution i need.  i am sure this will turn out to be something simple, but i just cant place my finger on it.

thanks for any help,

Jonathan
