Description Neha 2014-05-27 13:44:04 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1044898 +++

Description of problem:

spacewalk-clone-by-date doest work with RHEL3/RHEL4 channels. Its a limitation of this tool. rhel3/rhel4 channels use up2date to update/install packages and not yum. spacewalk-clone-by-date requires the yum meta-data to be available to do the dependency resolution. 

With RHEL3/RHEL4 spacewalk-clone-by-date fails with error:
