HI Andreas,

What is the complete spacecmd command to remove the relevant errata?
Thanks.

I removed all my relevant errata with spacecmd. And spacecmd can handle wildcards, so that should be easy enough to remove them in bulk. And if you remove too much, just import them again by syncing the channels with errata available.

HI Spacewalk users,

Recently I just remove a RHEL 7 channel and its associated repository from Spacewalk. I remove via the spacecmd command and also did a spacewalk-data-fsck to check the database for any orphan packages that are not in use.
Now, all the RHEL packages and channels with its repositories are all removed from Spacewalk. However, the errata information related to the RHEL 7 channel still exists in Spacewalk.
How do I safely remove all these errata information that are no use? Should I just remove via the GUI under ‘Errata’ > ‘Manage Errata’? Do I need to do anything else? Or will the UI take care of everything?

Thank you.
