[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.3 keeps showing upgradable packages

[Nahelou Sébastien]

Hi Gerald

I have exactly the same problem since 2.3. Servers are up to date but GUI show updates, example:

> Latest Package - Installed Package
> kernel-2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 - kernel-2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64

I have no solution (I had already try restart spacewalk / reboot servers / Clean cache rhn-search...).
But, if you change software channel, this problem disappear temporarily... (it's not a solution for 10k systems)

We use the same architecture (2.3 / PGSQL / CentOS6), if you find informations, please keep me informed, I'm very interested about that :)

Thanks for your help.

Sebastien

PS: My taskomatic run already with a lot of memory

Objet : [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.3 keeps showing upgradable packages

Hi!

I have upgraded successfully from 2.2 to 2.3 two weeks ago. I have even scheduled several updates through spacewalk since then.

However, since yesterday I have noticed that there are several systems which are shown with upgradable packages even though the system is up to date.

1. "yum update" on the system shows no updates. "yum list" or "rpm -ql"
show that the latest package is already installed.

2. spacewalk shows identical "latest package" and "installed package"
versions in the list of upgradable packages, e.g.:

>       Latest Package  Installed Package       Related Errata
>       firefox-38.0.1-1.el6.centos.x86_64      firefox-38.0.1-1.el6.centos.x86_64
>       postgresql94-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64   postgresql94-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64
>       postgresql94-libs-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64      postgresql94-libs-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64
>       postgresql94-server-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64    postgresql94-server-9.4.2-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64

3. If I click on the link for the latest package, take a not of the "pid" in the URL, then show the list of installed packages in spacewalk and click on the link for the package installed, it shows the identical "pid" in the URL, i.e. I would assume it's in fact the identical package.

4. I ran "rhn-profile-sync" on the system, but not difference.

5. If I schedule an upgrade of the suggested upgradable packages, the logs on the system show that nothing is done as the packages are already installed.

6. I see no errors in the logs on the spacewalk server.

Any ideas how to further troubleshoot this?

Spacewalk Server 2.3 on CentOS 6 with local PostgreSQL database.
Spacewalk 2.3 clients on CentOS 5 and 6.

Thanks,

Gerald
