Hi! I just seeked a bit around, yes /var/cache/yum seems only used by yum, spacewalk has no business in this part.
Found an old KB-Entry at RedHat concerning this problem. yum clean all doesnt helped fully in that case because yum only has a look into rhnplugin.repos and deletes what it founds there, therefore it keeps the old channels because they are not listed there. Since it is only the cache I empties as stated in the KB-entry and simply did a yum repolist to recreate rhe rhnplugin.repos I put that into my update-scripts Cheers Matthias ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ METZLER Informationstechnologie Matthias Gruber IT-Infrastruktur & -Betrieb B.

That is the cache for the machine itself and is not used by spacewalk-server. This cache can be cleaned up by "yum clean all". More details are in "man yum". The packages of spacewalk-server are in /var/satellite (or whatever you have as mount_point in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf). spacewalk-data-fsck will remove unneeded packages at this location. > There are two tools which can help you: > spacewalk-remove-channel > spaceewalk-data-fsck Regards, Bernhard * Bernhard Lichtinger <bernhard.lichtin...@lrz.de> * Issuer: Leibniz-Rechenzentrum _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list Persönlich haftende Gesellschafter: Harald Illy, Michael Klaus, Friedrich von Metzler, Emmerich Müller, Dr. Johannes J.
