[Spacewalk-list] Errata skipped because of empty package list.

[Torvund, Vegard]

Hi Avi, 

Thank you for your clarification. I can see now how this is working as intended. The last time the  ol6_6_patch repo was modified was  07-21-2015, I was somehow of the impression that this was still being maintained. 
I guess we have to rethink our channel subscription strategies going forward! 

Best, 

Vegard

Hey,

This is not actually a problem on your system.

This is OK.

This is also OK.

It’s to with how we create the updateinfo.xml on the ULN side. We generate the metadata globally across all channels, because we know that downstream the clients will just ignore errata that are not relevant. In this case, Spacewalk is seeing errata in the metadata for which the applicable RPMs do not exist in ol6_u6_x86_64_base and ol6_u6_x86_patch. Therefore, only the actual errata that apply will be added to the database.

So while this looks weird, it’s actually working as designed.

Cheers,
Avi
