[Spacewalk-list] applying CESA-2010:0737 Important: freetype Update to x86_64 hosts doesn't work

[Yungwei Chen]

I removed CESA-2010:0737 erratum and let centos_errata.py re-generate that erratum. 
Now spacewalk web UI correctly shows corresponding packages of CESA-2010:0737 for 64-bit hosts. 
So the root cause was that I ran centos_errata.py multiple times per day while I sync the repos once per day.
In that case, I guess, it's likely that when CESA-2010:0737 erratum was created, the corresponding 64-bit packages didn't exist yet.

It should skip creating that errata if it can't find all the packages
but it might not if, for example, the advisory was split across
multiple digests. At the moment centos_errata.py can't handle updating
existing errata, it just keeps an internal cache of all the errata it
is building in the current run.

Yes.
