Anaconda ignores the repository metadata that is provided by spacewalk for the base channel and only uses the metadata in the distribution tree. If you add any packages to the base channel, you have to recreate the metadata and put it in the distribution tree, or anaconda won't see it.

After the install, yum correctly pulls metadata for the base channel from spacewalk directly.

Hi,

i have spacewalk 1.5 installed in a machine that has fedora 15 as it OS. I have created the fedora 15 distribution in spacewalk and created the following repos (base and child ones): Fedora 15 64-bits, Fedora 15 Updates 64-bits, RPMFusion Free 64-bits, RPMFusion Free Updates 64-bits, RPMFusion NonFree 64-bits, RPMFusion NonFree Updates 64-bits and Spacewalk-Client 1.5 64-bits. I have created a minimum kickstart to install fedora. If i put the following packages to install in the kickstart

rhn-client-tools
rhn-check
rhn-setup
rhnsd
m2crypto
yum-rhn-plugin
rhncfg-actions
wget
osad

and try to use this kickstart in PXE, i get the information that some of the dependencies doesn't exit. The problem is that i confirm that all the packages are in the repos associated to the kickstart and activation key. If i remove the packages from the kickstart and use it to install in a target machine, i don't have problems when i try to "yum install" those packages after the installation (i edit yum.conf so that i have all the same repos that spacewalk uses to collect information when using spacewalk-repo-sync). Is there any log where i can try to see (in spacewalk-server) what is falling in the installation of the kickstart with the above packages?

Best regards,
André Freitas
