[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk 2.9 && never ending issue with ubuntu/debian clients

[Eric Herget]

This sounds like the issue/fix discussed here - 
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/DebianUbuntuSupportIn27 
- just the client change, you shouldn't need to clean and sync channels 
since you were already running the updated parsing in 2.7.

If you upgraded the clients, possibly this fix got overwritten? I'm not 
familiar with what comes from the debclients url you mentioned - I don't 
know if this fix has been applied.
