Doubt these are the only situation but under SW 1.4. 1)RHEL4 which required deleting and registering the system again. 2)Channels/Repos were still in a process of sync'ing their repo cache. You can see this from the Channels details page.

I just had a similar issue but in my case I was seeing updates available SW side but not client. I did all the typical yum clean all, profile syncs, rhn_check checks, channel repo cache sync etc and so forth. I even restarted the SW services. Nothing worked.

I then noticed that reposyncs were still running (ie: ps auxwww | grep repo). Somehow they appear to have been causing problems with this even though the repos were unrelated to the clients I saw issues on. Within minutes of the reposync's finishing all updates showed up.

Hello,
After a day, the clients still don't see the updates.
I've checked /var/log/up2date file on the client, but couldn't find
anything interesting.
 From the spacewalk gui, when I select the latest kernel package and
then click on "Target Systems" tabs, my clients are listed, though
spacewalk says they doesn't need any update (I've attached a screenshot
to be clear).

Thanks in advance for your help,

Pierre

    Hello,
    I have a spacewalk 1.5 installation on PGSQL backend.
    I have a base channel containing RHEL 5 x64 rpms.
    My test clients have RHEL 5.6 installed.
    I've rhnpushed the rpm of RHEL 5.7 in the base channel.
    The problem is that in the web ui, no packages are marcked for updates.
    When I connect on a client, and launched yum update command, here is
    the (filtered) output:
      Transaction Summary
    Install       1 Package(s)
    Upgrade     178 Package(s)
    Total download size: 287 M
    Is this ok [y/N]: N

    Here is the log when running rhn_check -vvvv :
    hostname ~ # rhn_check -vvvv

    I've ran rhn_check 6 hours after rhnpushing the updates. Is there a
    problem in my setup? Where could I find useful information?

    Thanks in advance for you help,

    Pierre
