[Spacewalk-list] failed to retrieve getPackage/package_name [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found

[Josh.Mullis at cox.com]

I haven't figured anything else out.

If a system has been previously registered, I just run a "yum clean all", wait about an hour, then run my registration script.

It sucks, but it works.

Hi

Anybody know if the issue reported by Josh Mullis was ever resolved?, his email read as follows:

I have the exact same problem. I register my rhel 5.3 client to my spalkwalk 0.7 on Fedora 12......everything works as expected.

I then delete my rhel 5.3 client using the spacewalk UI.....UI delete works fine

I then re-register my rhel 5.3 client to the same spacewalk 0.7 on Fedora 12.....wait a few mins and run:
    for i in headers packages metadata dbcache plugins expire-cache all; do yum clean $i; done

and when I try and install something, I get:
    ".......
    Total download size: 2.5 k
    Downloading Packages:


    Error Downloading Packages:
      man-dhclient-0.0-2.noarch: failed to retrieve getPackage/man-dhclient-0.0-2.noarch.rpm from test-channel
    error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found

    [root at tloninzerotouch ~]#
    ......"


I simply leave the system for some time (few hours) and run the exact same command (up arrow) and it installs fine.

Any ideas?
