[Spacewalk-list] (no subject)

[Brian Weddell]

I am new to the rollback functionality of Spacewalk 1.9 and experimenting with it for the first time.  I have historically used VMware snapshots as my rollback mechanism, but we purchased a company that has a ton of physical servers.

I found my way to system set manager and tagged a test system for system rollback.  Then I went to system rollback and selected the tag name I just created.  I ran a rhn_client -vv on the server I was trying to rollback and I get the dump below.  


From what I can tell, it tried to roll back to the former rpm package but couldn't since the old package wasn't in any of my channels.

Is this the right way to rollback packages with Spacewalk?  Is there a better way that works?
