From spacewalk-list: http://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2009-April/msg00183.html I have the same problem of package list not refreshed after yum update/rhn_check with my Spacewalk 0.5 (upgraded from 0.4) I have created three channels in my spacewalk : * one for RHEL 5.0 * one for RHEL 5.1 * one for RHEL 5.2 I kickstart a RHEL 5.0 and register it with Spacewlak. After, I change its base channel to be the one for RHEL 5.1 and Spacewalk show me a lot of packages that need to be upgraded. That's good. On the host, I do a yum update and everything is fine. But Spacewalk still tells me that a lot of packages need to be upgraded. After doing what Thomas von Steiger explain (playing with child channels), I have got the list refreshed. I have tried rhn-profile-sync without success I changed again the base channe to the one for RHEL 5.2 and schedule a packages upgrade from Spacewalk webui. The task complete with success but the webui stills show me that some packages need to be upgraded... I have tried rhn-profile-sync without success. If I remove a child channel, the system status becomes "up to date". That is weird and right now, Spacewalk lost is reporting functionnality
Hi! I have exactly the same problem after upgrading from 0.4 to 0.5, on a CentOS 5.3 (x86) box: # rpm -qa spacewalk spacewalk-0.5.4-1.el5 When clicking in "Software -> Packages -> Upgrade", I can see the latest version available for the packages but I can't see installed versions (maybe that's the bug?) An example image is available at: http://filesocial.com/262h9 Re-scheduling package upgrade and running rhn_check I get: ====================================================================== Package 1:cups-1.3.7-8.el5_3.4.i386 already installed and latest version Package 1:cups-libs-1.3.7-8.el5_3.4.i386 already installed and latest version Package device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-23.el5_3.4.i386 already installed and latest version Package kpartx-0.4.7-23.el5_3.4.i386 already installed and latest version Package libvolume_id-095-14.20.el5_3.i386 already installed and latest version Package tzdata-2009f-1.el5.noarch already installed and latest version Package udev-095-14.20.el5_3.i386 already installed and latest version (..)

We are following those steps to refresh installed package version: - Select affected client and enter in "Software -> Software Channels". - Unselect a child channel (CentOS 5 i386 Updates) and click "Change Subscriptions". - Enter again in "Software Channels" and re-selected unselect channel (CentOS 5 i386 Updates). Following this procedure installed package version will be updated, but if we make this operation globally using "System Set Manager" this doesn't work..
I have made a very simple Perl script that uses Spacewalk XML-RPC API to unsuscribe and re-suscribe again to all child channels, and help solving this bug. Script is available at http://fpaste.org/paste/10243

This patch doesn't work in our installation (spacewalk-0.5.4-1.el5 + CentOS 5.3 x86): # diff /usr/share/rhn/server/rhnServer/server_packages.py server_packages.py-2009-05-07 320,322c320,321 < non_null_errata = filter(lambda x: x[0] is not None, deleted_packages) < null_errata = filter(lambda x: x[0] is None, deleted_packages) < --- > non_null_errata = filter(lambda x: x[1] is not None, deleted_packages) > null_errata = filter(lambda x: x[1] is None, deleted_packages) When listing system packages still show upgrades available.. I must unsubscribe + subcribe method to solve the problem. Regards,
I modified the file of /usr/share/rhn/server/rhnServer/server_packages.py Line 320 and 321 non_null_errata = filter(lambda x: x[1] is not None, deleted_packages) null_errata = filter(lambda x: x[1] is None, deleted_packages) To non_null_errata = filter(lambda x: x[0] is not None, deleted_packages) null_errata = filter(lambda x: x[0] is None, deleted_packages) Now the rpmlist refresh is working once I update the packages.
