Re: [Spacewalk-list] Ubuntu/Deb Support
Thanks Robert. I applied the patch for rhnRepository.py and verified the client version is up to date using the criteria gave (spacewalk.list). I did follow Phil's blog and have been able to create Release & Release.gpg files. I did not do any of the patching he mentioned though because I'm assuming my versions are updated since he wrote the post. Attempting to patch after that gives me the same error. Next I am trying to run your add-multiarch-header script but am getting the following error: /etc/rhn/spacewalk-add-debian-multiarch-header.py /var/cache/rhn/repodata/xenial-main/Packages /tmp/xenial-main Error: Inputfile '/tmp/xenial-main' not available.

Newer "apt", especially the python "apt" module fails while checking the signatures of the repo, thus the "update" fails. Note: it is the update ("apt-get update") within the call to install the package that fails. I also had this error with Debian 9, because I did not yet "sign" my repos and used "Allow unsigned = true" within apt.conf. But these settings seem to be ignored, hence, the "apt" python module "requires" the repos to be signed. It took me a while to debug this. In case you "are" using signs repos, you should provide some more info...e.g. "rhn_check -" while trying to install a package via SW.
