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

[Stefan Bluhm]

To me, this sounds like module "issues"/works as designed. Check out if modules are enabled/disabled for these packages and in which modules these are contained.

If you have locally modules enabled, updates will show in Spacewalk but not on the client.

So start digging in that direction. Here some fun commands to try out

dnf module list
dnf module info <module name> (try rhn-tools)
dnf module disable <module name>
dnf module enable <module name>
dnf module install <module name>

dnf module <(choose from 'list', 'update', 'install', 'reset', 'disable', 'enable', 'provides', 'info', 'remove')>

Good Luck

I am facing more and more Problems.

I see an osad-5.11.110 Package in the spacewalk-client repo ... CentOS 8 
Server is connected also to that Channel. But the Server see only 
osad-5.10 from appstreams ...

Also if i look with a
dnf repo-packages test-centos-81-64-spacewalktools list

i didn't see that osad Package which is in the channel. I checked the 
REPO Files on the Spacewalk ... there is the Package included.

if i add directly the spacewalk-client repository from the Internet -> 
Client doesn't see that osad Package.

Strange things going on with CentOS-8 ...
