One thing is that the packages associated with CESA-2010:0737 are for 32-bit hosts. I am wondering if this is the root cause of this problem. Did this happen to you as well? How can I fix it? Thanks.

Hi, 

I'm assuming you are using the centos-errata script from
http://www.bioss.ac.uk/staff/davidn/spacewalk-stuff/. If not then I
probably can't help.

Anyway, that errata on my spacewalk install (generated with the
centos-errata.py script) lists the following packages.

CentOS 5.5 Updates x86_64
md5:5afa410c4f2974603ada97886e1ea5dd freetype-2.2.1-28.el5_5-i386
md5:d6c8f0a869ec4529e6cde8661a1c8356 freetype-2.2.1-28.el5_5-x86_64
md5:4615f98627de96657c307ca4fbffc8c3 freetype-demos-2.2.1-28.el5_5-x86_64
md5:f8f4e754eeaeeda39093f82b86699930 freetype-devel-2.2.1-28.el5_5-i386
md5:3485cd6fbf695c0c62e32e406dc3f33e freetype-devel-2.2.1-28.el5_5-x86_64 

We're x86_64 only here so if the problem is with multiple-arch errata
we likely wouldn't see it in normal operation.

If it's only that specific errata that has the problem, just edit it
manually in the spacewalk web interface and include the relevant
x86_64 packages alongside the 32bit ones.
