Thanks, that brought me an idea - I used the Spacewalk 1.6 client file repository with a 1.7 server - funny thing though is, even before I installed the updates, just for the fun of it, I rescheduled the package installation that failed about 10 times yesterday.. and it went through without an issue. Very weird case of "fixed itself overnight.." but I will investigate further if I can find the root cause of it

Is your client stock RHEL-6.2 or has it been upgraded with latest Spacewalk client packages? I cannot really tell what the cause of your problem is, but it certainly would be worth to find out -- in the past I always used python debugger to see why would yum libraries think that there's nothing to do in the scheduled transaction. -MZ > Regards, > Alexander Gruel > > > Mit freundlichen Grüßen/ Kind regards Alexander Gruel > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > IT-Systems Engineer / Abteilung IT-Operations > > > > COR&FJA AG > > Humboldtstr. 35 > > D-70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen > > Phone: +49 711 94958-219 I Fax: +49 711 94958-8219 > > Mobile: +49 151 10863635 > > > E-mail: [email protected] I www.cor.fja.com > > > > Sitz der Gesellschaft: Leinfelden-Echterdingen > > Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 222956 > > Geschäftsführer: Thorsten Budde, Klaus Hackbarth, Milenko Radic, > > Volker Weimer, Ulrich Wörner, Rolf Zielke > > > > Diese E-Mail enthält vertrauliche und/ oder rechtlich geschützte > > Informationen.
