Hi I've searched all the email I've received since the release of Fedora 12 and I can't find any reference to an issue with fedora 12 yum being incompatible with spacewalk. I've installed spacewalk 0.7 on Fedora 7. I then register a fedora 12 client to the spacewalk (0.7 running on fedora 12).....rhnreg completes without issues and I can see my fedora 12 client in my spacewalk UI. I then clean (on the client) my yum cache, headers, metadata etc etc, I finally run yum clean all and then I run "yum repolist" ( still on the fedora 12 client) and I get (debug set to 9 in /etc/yum.conf): [r...@tlonxeng ~]# [r...@tlonxeng ~]# yum repolist Loading "rhnplugin" plugin Not loading "blacklist" plugin, as it is disabled Loading "presto" plugin Loading "refresh-packagekit" plugin Not loading "whiteout" plugin, as it is disabled Running "config" handler for "presto" plugin Config time: 0.079 Running "init" handler for "rhnplugin" plugin Looking for repo options for [test-channel] Yum Version: 3.2.22 COMMAND: yum repolist Installroot: / Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: test-channel. Please verify its path and try again [r...@tlonxeng ~]# I then ran a network trace while I issued the same commands on the same "fedora 12 client" and a working "rhel 5.3 client"....both registered to the same spacewalk (0.7 on F12) ....the two clients conduct a very different dialogue. Basic summary is: fedora 12 client runs (via methodName) update2.login update2.listChannels update2.login update2.login update2.login rhel 5.3 client runs (via methodName) update2.listChannels GET /XMLRPC/GET-REQ/test-channel/repodata/repomd.xml HTTP/1.1\r\n GET /XMLRPC/GET-REQ/test-channel/repodata/primary.xml.gz HTTP/1.1\r\n Differences in yum versions: fedora 12 client: [r...@tlonxeng ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum yum-utils-1.1.23-3.fc12.noarch yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-14.fc12.x86_64 yum-presto-0.6.1-1.fc12.noarch yum-rhn-plugin-0.7.6-1.fc12.noarch yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch PackageKit-yum-0.5.4-0.1.20091029git.fc12.x86_64 PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.5.4-0.1.20091029git.fc12.x86_64 anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-5.fc12.noarch [r...@tlonxeng ~]# rhel 5.3 client: [r...@tloninzerotouch ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum yum-security-1.1.16-13.el5 yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.3-30.el5 yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5 yum-3.2.22-20.el5 [r...@tloninzerotouch ~]# Is it a known issue whereby Fedora 12 (presumably yum) is not able to talk to spacewalk 0.7...and at a guess any version of spacewalk (I've not yet tried 0.8.36-1) Bruce Bushby Unix Engineering Technology Group Desk: +44 (0) 207 144 3903 Mobile: +44 (0) 7887711769
