Thanks Michael for your quick response.
It was late, and today I managed to resolve a few things.
a) spacewalk-common-channels.ini
is indeed not outdated. Sorry for the false alarm.
Acutally, spacewalk-utils-1.6.6-1.fc16.noarch.rpm wasn't installed at all yet.
Makes me wonder why the binary (/usr/bin/spacewalk-common-channels) survived the
yum erase process.
So I tryed my own call and it did not work.
Then I tried an official example, and it did work.
Turns out the '*' at the end is crucial:
[root@xyz rhn]# /usr/bin/spacewalk-common-channels -u SpacewalkAdmin -p mypass
-a i386 'fedora16'
does not work.
[root@xyz rhn]# /usr/bin/spacewalk-common-channels -u SpacewalkAdmin -p mypass
-a i386 'fedora16*'
does work as intended.
(The official example:
Create only Centos 4 base channels for intel archs:
/usr/bin/spacewalk-common-channels -u admin -p pass -a i386,x86_64 'centos4'
does not work either - just as a testcase!
)
Sorry about the earlier stuff,
Best
