[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk do not want to install updates

[Balazs Zachar]

Hi all,

I have enabled the update repositories in my yum on a system that is 
registered into the spacewalk (actually the spacewalk server itself) and 
listed the available updates. I have found some packages that were 
listed as possible updates but they are not listed in the spacewalk as 
upgrades. For example the apr package:

[root at spacewalk ~]# rpm -qa apr
apr-1.2.7-11.el5_3.1
[root at spacewalk ~]# yum list updates apr

[root at spacewalk ~]# /usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync --channel 
centos5-updates-x86_64 --url 
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/x86_64/ --type yum

So it looks the spacewalk has the new package in the updates channel but 
it do not want to install it as update...

Any idea?
