[Spacewalk-list] CentOS 8.1 Clone Channels didn't work

[Mario Heininger]

Hello,

i have a new Problem.  i Synced the CentOS 8.1 to a Channel Structure:
Base 8.1 - No packages
--Server
--Streams
--Spacewalktools

I install a Client via Kickstart from that -> Is working.

I cloned the channels to a New Set of Channels:
TEST - Base 8.1 - No Packages
--Server
--Streams
--Spacewalktools

Then i made a "spacecmd channel_sync  base-server test-server" and the 
same with Streams and Spacewalk Tools.

If i switch the System to the Cloned TEST Channels Package 
Installs/UPdate didn't work any mor.
The Problem seems that the channel_sync is loosing the Steam/Group 
informations:

That looks different to the output when it is connected to the orriginal

Seems i miss something or channel cloning for staging isn't possible any 
more with CentOS 8 on the Spacewalk ? What i see is that on the 
orriginal CENTOS Channels the Repodata are bigger - seems the 
softwarechannel_sync didn't do the job correctly here.
