[Spacewalk-list] [Spacewalk 1.6] Kickstart complaining about missing dependencies even though they exist

[Rick van der Linde]

Actually, I do not know whether this works as designed or a if it is a bug.

 
However I managed to get the updates installed by using an activation key that subscribes to the updates channel. In addition you may want to add an (yum) update command in a post kickstart script to have the updates installed during the kickstart installation.

Indeed I did, and removing that channel from the kickstart solves the problem. But shouldn't it be possible to have that channel enabled so to push updates to clients whilst kickstarting?

Best regards,

Did you add an updates (CentOS packages) channel to your kickstart configuration?

 
If you did, try kickstarting without the updates channel.

Hello,

When trying to kickstart a CentOS 6.0 system from a newly upgraded Spacewalk 1.6 we recieve the following message when checking for dependencies:

nss-3.12.10.17.el6_2.x86_64 requires nspr >= 4.8.8
xorg-x11-server-common-1.10.4-6.el6_2.1.x86_64 requires pixman >= 0.18.0

These packages does infact exist in our channels and I can't wrap my head around why it throws this error. 

I've tried removing the folders for CentOS 6 in /var/cache/rhn/{repodata,reposync} and resyncing the channels, removing the channels via the Spacewalk UI and adding them again, to no avail.

Can someone point me in the right direction here? 

Best regards,

David Lind
