[Spacewalk-list] Delete package issue

[YANG LI]

thank you so much, Tomas. Sorry for the late response. have been very busy in past few weeks. 

I made changed based on your suggestion to increase heap in /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6
changed -Xmx256m to -Xmx1024m 
then restart spacewalk. 

now I can do package_listorphans without issue, but I have different error when try to remove orphans packages. it list all packages which will be removed, when I confirmed to remove them, it failed to remove package id error. see below: 

spacecmd {SSM:0}> package_removeorphans 
...... 
zypper-1.3.14-0.3.3.x86_64 
zypper-1.3.16-0.3.7.x86_64 
zypper-1.3.18-0.3.2.x86_64 
zypper-1.3.20-0.3.6.x86_64 
zypper-1.3.21-0.3.1.x86_64 
zypper-1.3.7-0.2.1.x86_64 
zziplib-utils-0.13.49-1.el5.1.i386 

Remove these packages [y/N]: y 
ERROR: Failed to remove package ID 102740

ERROR: Failed to remove package ID 102745 
ERROR: Failed to remove package ID 102746 
ERROR: Failed to remove package ID 102747 

do you have suggestion where I should look? I am totally lost.

Thanks,
Yang
