I'm not sure if I should classify this as bug or an rfe but either way ill put in a ticket tommorow. I ran into an intresting problem. There is a common case where you have for example centos channels and scientific linux channels where you may have different packages with the same name in different base channels. It would be nice to be able to publish a single errata with multiple base channels from different distros that could cover them all but what I've found in testing is there seems to be no way to do that safely. When you try to do that the package from one channel gets published into the other resulting in a duplicate package in the other channels the first one being the original package for that distro the second being the package from the first channel. This is actually a common problem and complaint for most of the errata sync scripts. The resultt is it breaks yum and by extention anacondas ability to use the channel. After a bit of investigation I found it was a limitation of the api, I haven't dug into the database yet but. This is something that needs investigation because it would eleviate a lot of the dificulties users have with the errata sync scripts.
