[Spacewalk-list] Cobbler repodata not updated.

[FRANK Michael]

Hello,

We much appreciate all the hard work spent from Spacewalk team to make this perfect tool a big success. We using it since years and we are very happy with it.

After upgrade of Spacewalk to Version 2.8 we unfortuntely cannot install new hosts via cobbler 2.0.11. 
We are using an ISO file to bootstrap the new host.
Anaconda stops because the spoke software selsection is not is not complete.
On the new host I find in /tmp/packaging.log:
	08:32:48,074 WARN packaging: yum-3.4.3-154.el7.centos.1.noarch requires rpm >= 4.11.3-22

In the spacewalk channel  I have rpm version 4.11.3-35.el7 available and I can install it on an already installed host.

Installed Packages
rpm.x86_64                                                                                              4.11.3-21.el7                                                                                               @anaconda                
Available Packages
rpm.x86_64                                                                                              4.11.3-35.el7                                                                                               centos_7_base_x86_64_prod

The version 4.11.3-21.el7 was the version initially installed by anaconda before we merged the channel with the new packages.

On the new machine I find in /tmp/yum.cache/anaconda the following files:

[anaconda root at newhost anaconda]# ls -la

drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root     180 May 24 08:32 .

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root    3735 Jan  5  2017 repomd.xml

The repomd.xml and the comps.xml etc. are not up to date.

All the taskomatic tasks running and I don't find anything helpful in any log.
Also a cobbler sync on command line works without any problem.

Has anyone an helpful hint why this repodata in cobbler are not udated with the lates package data from the channel?

Any helps is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance 

Michael
