[Spacewalk-list] Reverting an upgrade

[m.roth2006 at rcn.com]

For those of you who've responded today to my last problem with pushing updates, please read the followups from Friday, when I succeeded with everything.

Anyway, here's a question: all our systems are running under VMware. I took a snapshot of the test clients, then I tested a full upgrade - 32 packages, as it happens. 

So, I then wanted to revert, so I restored the test system using the snapshot. Now I'm trying to get spacewalk to realize that what it's got in its d/b isn't correct. I ran the verify, and it failed, finding the upgrades undone. However, it still doesn't offer me those failed ones as an upgrade. Is there any way to get spacewalk to do so, or is it the case that once you upgrade, you can't go back without deleting the system and reregistering?

An example of why we might want to do this would be if there was an intrusion, and we restored from a template or pre-upgrade backup, and then wanted to do the upgrade.
