i have played with this more and noticed that the problem seems to stem from having packages that were deleted by hand. once this is done, you cannot go back to rhn and tell it to 'delete' these packages ('update package list' fails as mentioned above). the job to 'delete' the packages shows up and is pulled down to the machine, but nothing happens. of course, this is expeetcd on the client since the packages were already removed, but rhn central still shows them as installed. interesting to note is that the job is marked as COMPLETE (not failed). You said the rpd db seems ok, did you run rpm --rebuilddb ? Also, try running up2date -p and see what happens. # up2date -p -v Updating package profile... # rhn_check rhn: out of date rhn # package list refresh # rhn_ch ERROR: refreshing remote package list for System Profileeck rhn: This action's status is: Failed. The client picked up this action on 2003-03-28 11:36:10 (EST). The client completed this action on 2003-03-28 11:36:12 (EST). Client execution returned "Error refreshing package list" (code 20) # rpm --rebuilddb # up2date -p -v Updating package profile... rhn: out of date rhn # package list refresh # rhn_check ERROR: refreshing remote package list for System Profile |
