Description of problem: RHN Satellite 530 server is not properly displaying errata on the Systems tab. If we look at the "System Overview" page, we see numbers in the packages column, but 0's in the errata column. If we go to the Errata tab, under the Relevant section there are no errata. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHNS 530 How Reproducible - Not Always. Steps to Reproduce - sync a RHEL5 base and child channel and register a system - After a couple of days when new errata are released, Go to Systems Overview page and check the errata and packages count. Observed Behavior - For some systems it shows 0 errata count and 10-12 packages with no errata links Expected Behavior - Package should have errata links
A workaround is to use : satellite-sync --force-errata -c <<channel_name>>
I'm not able to reproduce this myself, nor on any of our 5.3 systems that have been running for quite a while. Can you point me to a reproducer? Also, I'm a tad confused. The yum cache (located within /var/cache/rhn/repodata) is completely different to the errata/package cache (located in the rhnServerNeededcache table). -Justin
