In fact, upon further investigation, it seems to be the case that ALL packages from the
CentOS 5.3 x86_64 update repo aren't being recognized by yum (when doing a "yum
list"), even though they are in the channel as verified on the spacewalk server. I
just put both the base and update repos in the same channel, rather than making update a
child channel as mentioned in another thread, but this wasn't a problem with spacewalk
0.2 and CentOS 5.2. Spacwalk shows kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.x86_64 being in the x86_64
channel, but not yum:
# yum list kernel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
centos-5-x86_64 | 871 B 00:00
Installed Packages
kernel.x86_64
2.6.18-92.1.18.el5
installed
kernel.x86_64
2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
installed
kernel.x86_64
2.6.18-128.el5
installed
In contrast, I have an i386 CentOS 5 system subscribed to an i386 channel
containing both base and update packages from 5.3. Updating with yum works
fine, and doing a yum list shows the packages from the update repo. In this
case, Spacewalk shows kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.i686 being in the i386 channel,
and so does yum:
# yum list kernel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
centos-5-i386 | 871 B 00:00
Installed Packages
kernel.i686
2.6.18-92.1.18.el5
installed
kernel.i686
2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
installed
kernel.i686
2.6.18-128.1.6.el5
installed
Is this somehow an issue specific to x86_64?

There are 20 packages that need updating, as confirmed by the system
information on the spacewalk server. I'll pick on wireshark here.
Spacewalk shows that I have wireshark-1.0.3-4.el5_2 installed, which is
true, and need to update to wireshark-1.0.6-2.el5_3. However, when I do
a "yum check-update" or "yum update" on the system itself, it shows no
updates being available. Furthermore, yum doesn't even seem to be aware
that the newer version of wireshark exists:
# yum list wireshark
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
centos-5-x86_64
| 871 B 00:00 Installed Packages
wireshark.x86_64
1.0.3-4.el5_2
installed
Why won't yum show these updates?
