H, all. I recently upgraded Spacewalk to the latest and greatest from version 1.8. Unfortunately, the upgrade didn't go well, and all of my settings were lost. The silver lining here is that, by recreating everything, I learned a lot (or, at least, refreshed my memory).
However, I'm having a problem getting on recreated cahnnel/repo working. Many of our Linux boxes use Samba; the packages come from Sernet. I created the channel and repo for my CentOS 5 systems, but the repo won't sync. When I try to sync from the command line, here's the output I get: spacewalk-repo-sync --channel sernet-samba-el5 --type yum Repo URL: http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5 Packages in repo: 22 Packages already synced: 0 Packages to sync: 22 1/22 : samba3-utils-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 2/22 : samba3-winbind-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 3/22 : libsmbclient-devel-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 4/22 : libwbclient0-32bit-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 5/22 : libwbclient-devel-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 6/22 : samba3-doc-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 7/22 : libwbclient0-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 8/22 : samba3-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 9/22 : samba3-debuginfo-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 10/22 : samba3-client-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 11/22 : libsmbclient0-3.6.17-45.el5-0.x86_64 12/22 : samba3-winbind-32bit-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 13/22 : samba3-winbind-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 14/22 : libwbclient0-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 15/22 : samba3-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 16/22 : samba3-client-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 17/22 : samba3-debuginfo-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 18/22 : libsmbclient-devel-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 19/22 : samba3-doc-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 20/22 : libsmbclient0-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 21/22 : samba3-utils-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 22/22 : libwbclient-devel-3.6.17-45.el5-0.i386 Linking packages to channel. ERROR: Package arch x86_64 incompatible with channel sernet-samba-el5 Sync completed. Total time: 0:00:06 The machines to be updated are 32-bit. I chose IA-32 as the Architecture, and the repo url is http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5. If I make it http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5/i386, I get "ERROR: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repostory: sernet-samba-el5. Please verify its path and try again. What's frustrating is that I did have this working before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
