I assume that you are using my script (errata-import.pl). At startup
it requests a list of all existing errata from Spacewalk to distinguish
which ones need to be created and which ones should be updated 
(different
API commands).

For some reason (maybe database corruption?) Spacewalk sometimes does 
not
report all existing errata and then complains when the script tries to
create it.

This seems to be a Spacewalk bug that is currently not replicable. Most
people have had success by deleting all Errata and starting fresh.

Kind regards,
