[Spacewalk-list] discrepancy between web interface and yum

Some things to check/verify:

  * Verify the repos reporting packages available for update via yum are
    the same repos in the Spacewalk web portal.
  * Taskomatic might be behind/stuck/stale. Try giving all the Spacewalk
    server services a restart and force the system to check in again.
    Wait a few minutes for the changes to reflect in the web portal.
      o Tail the taskomatic log during all of this to see if there are
        any issues.
  * Verify you are not having any repo sync/errata sync issues


I have see discrepancies somewhat like this in the past when there have 
been taskomatic issues and/or reposync issues. (IE packages downloaded, 
but security errata did not, causing strange display behavior)


Good Luck!
