Description of problem: satellite 5.4 is not updating the Content Provider field when importing new packages "Today I re-ran satellite-sync and pulled down a small collection of packages and Errata. Within RHEL 5 channel I browsed to kernel packages (since that was one of errata) and confirmed it was sync'd with Unknown for Content Provider. https://rlx-1-18.rhndev.redhat.com/rhn/channels/ChannelPackages.do?cid=101 the filter by kernel and look for: kernel-2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.i686 The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system) Unknown kernel-2.6.18-238.el5.i686 The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system) Red Hat Inc. " Running spacewalk-update-signatures -d rhnsat/rhnsat@rhnsat can fix things if you're lucky, but I hit two bugs that causes it to fail.
Fixed in spacewalk nightly by commit f7d42e8e79aeca2c43da2cc47fd4b9f7ca3308b7 671465 - fixed signature import and also moved signature / content provider import to PackageImport where we already know package_id thus needn't go to database for it Fixed spacewalk package: spacewalk-backend-1.3.52-1
