[Spacewalk-list] yum update dependency issues

[Rick Voormolen]

All,

I have the same issue here. When I remove the devel packages and
install the packages again I'm able to upgrade without problems.

When I look in Spacewalk the packages are in. rpm -e and yum -y
install is installing without problems.

Is there any bug in the package list generation when using upgrade?

Regards,
Rick
