Have you tried running rhn_check using -v and inspecting the logs client
side? When I have had package rollback issues on RHEL 5 the error
messages in the GUI have largely been misleading. It has typically been
the packages not being able to be seen by the client (metadata server or
client side the usual culprit) or a setting which disallows packages to
be modified, such as a skip list.
I have not done many kernel rollbacks but so far they have worked on
RHEL 5. Cant say this particular one has been performed. I will note
though that on RHEL 4 I have run into many strange issues and most of
them have been due to issues with the RPMs themselves and even manual
attempts outside SW were a nightmare. Perhaps this is one of those
scenarios.

Hi,
I'm runnning spacewalk 1.5 on rhel5 server and clients.
I want to be able to install/revert errata as needed.
However - after applying all erratas to rhel 5.3 server, rollback does
not work.
When i compare the system to the ols profile, the output is confusing.
Some packages, such as the kernel and gcc are listed as 'profile only'
although a newer version is installed.
When trying to sync, the operation fails with a message that says that
the old kernel version is already installed, and therefore it aborts.
I tried manually removing the old kernel - and the rollback now fails,
saying cpp is needed by gcc qnd that autofs conflicts with cyrus-sasl-lib.
This does not seem to be reliable at all.
Can someone help me?
Thanx,
Uri
