Its likely the fact that when you push errata (from the command line) it
automatically applies them to all channels to which the errata has a
package reference. Unfortunately when it does this it also pushes the
packages themselves to the channels to which the errata are applied and
hence you end up with packages being cross posted.
This even happens with rhel4 to 5 and back. Good news is it does not
cross post ARCH. =)
If you push errata in and do not publish you can then publish via the
GUI and select what channels and it wont cross post packages.
There is also a "fix" for the clone errata script I think floating
around that breaks your errata up into assigned bits according to say
"distro". So you end up with errrata FOO pushed and published twice but
its called "RHEL5-FOO" and "RHEL4-FOO". Or something along those lines.
I've not used Centos but the above was my experience with RHEL versions.
It sounds like the exact same issue but maybe not. Im on SW 1.5.

Dear all,
I am running Spacewalk 1.5 (on CentOS 5.7, against full Oracle 11g) with Centos
5, 6 and Fedora 16 Channels for some time now. I also use the centos-errata.py
(0.8.1) script (https://github.com/davidnutter/Centos-Errata) to import CentOS
Errata which works fine for me.
Additionally I have several RHEL 5 machines with valid subscriptions, these I
run against mrepo on one of them. Now, I would like the RHEL 5 machines also be
managed with Spacewalk, so I created a RHEL 5 Channel, synced it to my local
mrepo, fired up rhn-clone-errata.py; easy enough, piece of cake, seemed to work
fine.
But: for some reason I see CentOS packages in my freshly created RHEL Channel.
This thread
https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2011-August/msg00149.htmltells me
that I'm not crazy, and since the CentOS Packages show up after Errata
publishing I also had a suspicion about whats going on.
Now: how can I fix this? This behaviour pretty much prevents running RHEL and
CentOS Channels on a single Spacewalk...
best regards
Jens
