[Spacewalk-list] Packages listed as available to update, but no update done (Appstream/module issue for redhat8?)

[Stefan Bluhm]

Hello Kent, 

this seems to be indeed related to the modules. You could either disable the modules on the machine and then the updates should install. Or try to enhance Spacewalk to act like that (the community would be grateful!). 

I can't think of any other options. Maybe others can? 

Best wishes, 

Stefan

Betreff: [Spacewalk-list] Packages listed as available to update, but no update done (Appstream/module issue for redhat8?) 



Hi- I am testing a couple of version 8 clients for spacewalk (One redhat8, one centos8). 

I have a server for each OS doing a full reposync, then I sync the repositories into spacewalk. 
No problems so far. 

Everything pretty much works great EXCEPT for each of those 2 clients, I have about 16 packages that are listed in Spacewalk as being new versions that can be updated. 

But when I try to update those clients, nothing. “No updates available”. 



I am pretty sure this is related to the new redhat appstream/module functionality. And I’m guessing that those 16 packages can’t actually be upgraded YET because of a module version limitation of something installed on those clients. (I confirmed this more or less by eliminating spacewalk…. And just using centos/redhat repos. Same answer: no updates available). 

BUT… my question is this: How can I tweak spacewalk (or my repos) so that the Spacewalk doesn’t show update packages that I actually can’t install? In other words, those 2 clients should NOT show any updates available to install……. 



Is this spacewalk essentially not knowing how to handle modules/appstreams yet? 



Thanks for any tips/pointers
