Hi Jason,
thanks for the explanation.
All,
I'm on Spacewalk 1.5 also, is this behavior of rhn-clone-errata.py the
same in Spacewalk 1.7? Or can a "fix" be expected for 1.8? Does this even
qualify as bug or is it wanted behavior? From my point of view it is
clearly a bug, since my plans are to manage a small number of RHEL Systems
(~5-10) alongside with higher numbers of CentOS Systems (~100-150) in one
Spacewalk System.
regards from Berlin

Its likely the fact that when you push errata (from the command line) it
automatically applies them to all channels to which the errata has a
package reference. Unfortunately when it does this it also pushes the
packages themselves to the channels to which the errata are applied and
hence you end up with packages being cross posted.
This even happens with rhel4 to 5 and back. Good news is it does not
cross post ARCH. =)
If you push errata in and do not publish you can then publish via the
GUI and select what channels and it wont cross post packages.
There is also a "fix" for the clone errata script I think floating
around that breaks your errata up into assigned bits according to say
"distro". So you end up with errrata FOO pushed and published twice but
its called "RHEL5-FOO" and "RHEL4-FOO". Or something along those lines.
I've not used Centos but the above was my experience with RHEL versions.
It sounds like the exact same issue but maybe not. Im on SW 1.5.
