Hi,
I got some machines (centos 4 clients) who are showing updates in
spacewalk but when I click on them I don't see any of them.
I know this is a known bug but what I find strange is that when I do a
yum update on the machine (spacewalk client) it finds no updates.
When I do an up2date -fu it installs updates:
[r...@supwf01p ~]# yum update

Why doesn't yum find any updates and up2date does?
I thought both use the same spacewalk repositories?
Nope, When you use up2date you're directly talking to the spacewalk
database. Where as for yum the data is fetched from the yum repo's
metadata generated from the db. So if you isnt pulling updates you'l
need to make sure the repo cache is available in
/var/cache/rhn/repodata/<channel>.
