[Spacewalk-list] conflicting distributions for ubuntu trusty and lingering packages that still show as upgradable in console

Fri Jun 9 15:02:25 UTC 2017

Hi Robert,

rhn-channel --list gives me the following:

trusty
trusty-backports
trusty-security
trusty-updates

Those are the channels that are showing on the spacewalk console as well.  
rhn_check -v doesn't actually return anything on the client.

Regards,

Hi Lazaro,

did you install the necessary spacewalk client packages and registered the 
client to the server with "rhnreg_ks"?

If you did the, the spacewalk plugin for apt manages the repos your client 
is subscribed to on the server and an "apt-get update" is all you need. No 
need to "recreate" the package lists.

What does "rhn-channel" and "rhn_check" tell on the client?
