[Spacewalk-list] SW shows updates, yum does not

[Jason M. Nielsen]

Spacewalk 1.4
RHEL5 server
RHEL5 client

I recently updated a system via the Spacewalk GUI and it appeared to all 
work as expected. Shortly thereafter I noticed it was showing 82 more 
updates available in the GUI. Odd as none of the channels had been 
updated.  Apparently newer packages, downloaded long before this client 
update was run, did not show up in the update list and were not pushed 
out (ie: it installed a slightly older than most current version of 
"http" but newer than that which was on the client at the time of update).

This client now shows no updates via client side command line via Yum. 
Yet in the Spacewalk gui the packages are listed as requiring an update.

I have cleared out yum entirely with yum clean all etc client side.

The channels are subscribed and available etc.

The channels are not in progress for a repo cache refresh, they all 
indicate "Completed".

Spacewalk has been restarted several times.

The only time I have seen anything like this was on RHEL4 and having to 
register clients twice. This is a first on RHEL5.

Anyone have an idea what might be wrong and how to resolve this?

Thanks.
