[Spacewalk-list] Debian package comparison failing.

Wed Jul 31 16:04:19 UTC 2019

Hi,

I did directly remove the corresponding repodata directory, so in your case
/var/cache/rhn/repodata/debian-9, and to trigger a regeneration,
an "apt clean all && apt update" on a debian 9 registered on your spacewalk
should do the trick.

Philippe.
