Hey Ian, I had an issue just like this and it had to do with the package cobbler-web magically getting installed during a 'yum update' on the spacewalk server. Removing that package got things working again.
Here's the message thread that covers the issue: https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2010-May/msg00160.html Hope this helps, Mike From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Iain Grant Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 7:13 AM To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Subject: [Spacewalk-list] spacewalk-repo-syn not updating last repo build resulting in no channel info in /var/cache/rhn/repodata I have a script that runs nightly to synchronise various channels. The issue I have is that it does not seem to be updating the /var/cache/rhn/repodata folder. I only have Base, updates, spacewalk client and el5 caches for my i38 and x86-64 clients I don't have any repos listed for my extras and other channels. Each channel is synchronised using Reposync Createrepo Spacewalk-repo-sync When I look at the channel management in spacewalk, I can see that the channels not working have no date against the last Repo built field.
