[Spacewalk-list] yum update does not see any new packages from a spacewalk server.

[Paulo Silva]

I'm having a similar problem.

I've just installed a spacewalk 1.7 server, created the channels, uploaded
the packages and registered a client (CentOS 5 i386).

When I run yum on it I see this:

# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin

# yum update -v -v

No Packages marked for Update

But on the spacewalk web interface I see that the system has 21 updates
available and I even schedule a few of them.

It looks like the client isn't able to fetch the rpms from the spacewalk
server, maybe I missed a step during instalation?

One (i386) behaves as expected and another (x86_64) does not see any updates from spacewalk however spacewalk side is not showing any abnormalities. Right now it reports 20+ packages needs an update but neither scheduling an update and running rhn_check nor running yum update on a target system results in any updates.
