Description of problem: assume defining some repositories, all with the same url: http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/15.2/RHEL_5/ http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/15.2/RHEL_5/ but different filters: -*x86_64 -*i386 Will lead to error "There is already defined a repository with this url! Please use this one! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk 3.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install spacewalk 2. define repositories with same url, but different filters 3. Actual results: Impossible Expected results: shall be possible Additional info: If repositories hold x86_64, i386, i686 and other files the whole repository will be ignored if architectures do not match, if the given architecture ist "higher" than the one of the channel: http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/15.2/RHEL_5/ holds both: x86_64 and i386 rpm-packages. Adding to a channel with x86_64 will work, while adding to a channel with arch:i386 will lead to an error about package architectur missmatches. Setting a filter to exclude '-*x86_64'-packages all will be fine. If I am now using this very same channel for x86_64-Systems spacewalk will install only i386 packages for this system! But I'd like to have it install x86_64-packages. But these are excluded because of the set filter to avoid the error message before. Trying to define a second channel with a different filter (or even without one) leads to an error too.
Spacewalk 2.8 (and older) has already reached it's End Of Life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against current version of Spacewalk 2.9, you are encouraged change the 'version' and re-open it.
