If the packages were still listed in the RHEL channels even removal of
the centos channels would not remove the packages. Assuming I read that
correctly. Or at least that is my experience. I think they will only be
orphaned if they ended up in no channels. If this is not the case I
would be grateful for an explanation how this works as well.
I know that in SW 1.4 unless you use the GUI to submit errata packages
will be cross posted to every channel to which the errata applies. That
is, if errata BAZ applies to channels FOO and BAR and packages X and Y
yet X only exists in FOO and Y in BAR after submission of the errata X
and Y packages will exist in both FOO and BAR even if the package has
nothing to do with the channel. Other than that I personally have never
seen packages leak into or get cross posted.

Hi,
We are running Spacewalk 1.5 (upgraded from 1.4), with RHEL-only
channels (syncing from repositories mrepo’ed from RHN).
I initially set up the Spacewalk server with both RHEL and CentOS
channels, but experienced seeing CentOS packages in my RHEL channels and
clients refusing to update. As we initially only have RHEL systems
registered, I removed the CentOS channels and deleted the packages
(deleted all orphaned packages). I also re-initialized my RHEL base
channel (deleted all packages and reposynced against my base mrepo).
However, for some reason I recently again experienced finding CentOS
packages in my RHEL base channel . Can these be packages from my former
CentOS channel that for some reason were not deleted? I have of course
verified that my RHEL channels only sync against RHEL . Even when we had
channels for both distributions, is there any reason similar-named
packages should leak into the other channel?
regards,
Martin
