Hello,
are you saying that installing package from resulting channel
using yum (on the client subscribed to that channel - see `yum
repolist`) do not work?

Also please note any external repo is only source of packages
and some metadata for Spacewalk. Spacewalk itself regenerates
all repodata for new/updated channel. Do not attempt to use any
files from repodata/ of the original repo.

If you still have the problem, could you copy&paste what you see
in terminal so it is clear what the problem is?

Regards,
Jan
