[Spacewalk-list] Issue updating tzdata

[BERGMAN Andrew]

Hi peoples,

I noticed something odd recently while trying to update tzdata before the EST DST switch on Sunday.

The latest package shown on the relevant channels is tzdata-2014a-1, however when I scheduled this to be upgraded on the servers I got a failure on every system with the message:

Error while executing packages action: empty transaction [[6]]

So I jumped onto a server and did a yum list tzdata and the only package that came back was the previous version tzdata-2013i-2

It looks like the servers cannot see the tzdata-2014a-1 package even though it is in the repository.  I can download it and see all the info on it.

Luckily the only change in this version was to Turkey's timezone so is not an issue really but it is more that I want to understand why it could not see the package and I am concerned that I will have this issue with other packages.

Anyone got any ideas why this might happen?

Cheers

Andy
