[Spacewalk-list] Repo woes

Hi, Thomas.

I'm virtually positive I used IA-32.  I tried x86_64 
architecture, and the sync did seem to work, to the extent 
that I can see the packages listed in the repo.  However 
(you saw this coming, right?), that channel is greyed out, 
and hence unavailable, to my 32-bit boxes.
