[Spacewalk-list] Repo-Sync not working on 1.5 (PostgreSQL)

[Dirk Lohbeck]

Hi,

I successfully setup Spacewalk 1.5 with PostgreSQL on a CentOS 5.6 (64 bit)
VM.
But when I try to add content, repo-sync fails me.
I have added a Centos6 x86_64 Channel, linked to the official Centos6-x86_64
Repository,
together with correct GPG key and fingerprint.
The Spacewalk VM is sitting behing a proxy, whose setting I have applied
system wide (/etc/profile)
and also to the Spacewalk GUI.
I can access the repository's URL without problem.

But when try to actually issue a sync request (either via GUI or with
spacewalk-repo-sync)
it will always fail instantly with this error:
----------
[root at det-repos-1 repodata]# spacewalk-repo-sync -c centos6-x86_64 --url
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/ --type yum

    raise Errors.RepoError, msg
yum.Errors.RepoError: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for
repository: centos6-x86_64. Please verify its path and try again
----------

/var/satellite/redhat is NOT being filled.
/var/cache/rhn/repodata/centos6-x86_64 does have some XML files,
but the timestamp indicates, that they were copied at the time of entering
the repository in the GUI. I tried the sync later.

Initially I tried Spacewalk 1.5 on a CentOS 6.0 Server, which did not work
out.
When I saw a post from Jan saying that they'd "kind of expect 6.1" I
re-installed
on Scientific Linux 6.1. But it shows exactly the same error.

What can I do?
Thank you,
