I'm seeing the same issue on 32 and 64 bit CentOS boxes when I try to upgrade them from 5.3 to 5.4. The client tools repositories on the listed on the setup page for centos5 haven't been updated since 2008. The instructions for fedora point at http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/0.5 or http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/0.6/. Perhaps those packages will work? I'll likely try them tomorrow if I have enough time. Patrick ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list

Hey Michel, I re-read my original message, I probably should have been less curt (sorry!).

Yep, I wget'd the files from the redhat spacewalk repo, scp'd them in a directory on a few client machines and ran "rpm -Uvh ./*.rpm" from that directory. I have not been brave enough to add them to my spacewalk channels and have been doing the process manually on machines I've needed to patch.

[Spacewalk-list] 0.7 CentOS 4 Problems / new repos not having their data build
I've got two point five issues since upgrading to Spacewalk 0.7. 1) CentOS 4 Systems now say. # yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories No Repositories Available to Set Up Reading repository metadata in from local files No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion 2) I the updated rhn-plugin packages my centos5-spacewalktools repo, but the clients don't see them when I run yum upgrade 2.5) I created a new channel with the client-0.7 rpms, subscribed systems see this when I run yum upgrade: yum upgrade rhn-client-tools Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: c5-i386-spacewalk.

[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk .07 with CentOS 4 clients
I'm guessing the requirement of yum 3.2.19-15 is why they aren't shipping Centos4 clients for spacewalk. Has anyone tried to compile them and see what breaks? I have a few c4 clients that worked fine with 0.6. I upgraded to 0.7, and though the spacewalk webpage shows they have available packages, running yum update shows no packages found.

[Spacewalk-list] Oracle Size Limit Reached
Hey All, I've had about 60 machines in spacewalk for over a year. Recently I ran into some strange spacewalk problems (can't alter subscriptions, can't build repos etc), which I tracked down to be database related using the catapult log. I purged a bunch of channels and packages I didn't need, and the problems have seemed to go away. However when I look at the oracle webpage, I'm still within 10megs of the at the physical limit on disk. I ran compact database which didn't appear to do anything. Does anyone have any hits on purging data? If I were to dump the oracle database and reimport it, would it be any smaller?

[Spacewalk-list] reposync Non-UTF Encoding in RPMs
I just switched over to a postgres backend for my spacewalk 1.3 setup. So far, there have been a couple centos 5 packages that don't import correctly when I spacewalk-repo-sync from the command line. # rpm -qf `which spacewalk-repo-sync` spacewalk-backend-tools-1.3.57-1.el5 Packages: * aspell-is-0.51.1-2.2.2-50.i386 * man-pages-da-0.1.1-12.1.1-0.noarch http://pastebin.com/047jy19W Both of those packages appear to have non-utf8 characters in filename paths which I guess could be the the problem. I'm capture the output of the import, there may be more packages that show the same behavior. So I can file the bug in the right place, does this look like: * a spacewalk bug? * a spacewalk postgres backend bug? * a centos packaging bug? What other information should I include in my bug report? Thanks, Patrick ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list

[Spacewalk-list] RHN Traceback - violates unique constraint "rhn_sp_snep_uq"
After switching over to the postgres backend, I'm occasionally getting
the following traceback when attempting to change a single host's
channel assignment. The browser hangs and finally returns a 500. The
system shows iowaits in the 40s to 90s before I get the 500, and then
the iowaits return to normal when the 500 comes back.
So, since it says:
IntegrityError: duplicate key value violates unique constraint
"rhn_sp_snep_uq"
Should I be investigating the iowaits, or the unique constraints error?

This install of spacewalk has been around for a couple years. We started with one of the early 0. releases (maybe 0.5?), and have been upgrading in place whenever a new release comes out since then. Could there be cruft and code / database entries that need to be purged? Steps to reproduce: * Open browser, navigate to spacewalk web interface * Login * Click systems * Click host * Click "Alter Subscriptions" * Receive 500 and a traceback. The traceback I received today when doing those step was *not* the one with the uniq_key_restraint error. It could be that I had older spacewalk clients checking in/registering around the same time as I got the 500 last time and mixed up the tracebacks. I've included today's traceback. There are also a few systems that cause rhn tracebacks when they check in, I'll send in a separate email / thread for those.
