[Spacewalk-list] Delete package issue

[YANG LI]

The spacewalk we are using is 2.0. It is running fine except deleting bulk amount of packages. we need to remove some of repos and channels no longer needed and free up some space. I used spacecmd to do this.

spacecmd
repo_delete rhel5_i386_os
repo_delete rhel5_x86_64_extras
repo_delete rhel5_x86_64_os
repo_delete rhel5_x86_64_rhn-tools
repo_delete rhel5_x86_64_supplementary
softwarechannel_delete rhel5*

 channels and repos removed correctly, but when I try to remove packages which do not belong to any channels, it failed:
spacecmd {SSM:0}> package_listorphans
ERROR: <ProtocolError for localhost/rpc/api: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable>

spacecmd {SSM:0}> package_removeorphans
ERROR: <ProtocolError for localhost/rpc/api: 500 Internal Server Error>

if I delete packages from Web GUI for 500 packages at a time, it works fine. when I look at /var/log/rhn/rhn_web_api.log . this is what I see
