So I just updated "mediawiki" to "mediawiki*" in my repo conf to fetch some additional requisite packages and did the below reposync script. Same issue. For the record... running 'yum clean dbcache' on the client rebuilt its yum repo cache but still didn't fetch the additional packages.
Which makes it look like the spacewalk server isn't updating its published repo catalog (or whatever the terminology is) even though the packages DO show up in the spacewalk EPEL channel now. I am just wondering what the command on the Spacewalk server is to make it refresh that cache/catalog. --Ryan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kennedy, Ryan Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 12:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] EPEL repo update issue And as with most things Spacewalk... Time heals all wounds. I went to a dental appointment and when I came back it recognized the existence of mediawiki on my Spacewalk Epel repo. Probably some kind of repo cache that needed refreshed after adding the mediawiki package to the includepkgs line but I would have thought that one of the other reposync cronjob commands would have done that. I.e... reposync --arch=x86_64 --repoid=epel -p /var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-x86_64 -d -l -g -n -q > /dev/null cd /var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-x86_64/epel createrepo /var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-x86_64/epel > /dev/null /usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync --channel epel5-x86_64 \ --url file:///var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-x86_64/epel/ \ --type yum --label epel5-x86_64 > /dev/null That comes from the CentOS spacewalk howto on centos.org.

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp.
