I can confirm and maybe explain what is going on. I don't use this function
very much but I just tried it on my Spacewalk 2.0 install.
Here is the spacecmd output for a system that the Spacewalk GUI said was up to
date.
spacecmd {SSM:0}> system_listupgrades centos5server
kernel-PAE-2.6.18-348.12.1.el5.i686
kernel-PAE-2.6.18-348.12.1.el5.i686
But when I checked what kernel-PAE packages were installed, there were 3
installed currently on that system.
[root@centos5server ~]# rpm -q kernel-PAE
kernel-PAE-2.6.18-348.3.1.el5
kernel-PAE-2.6.18-348.4.1.el5
kernel-PAE-2.6.18-348.12.1.el5
If I remove the two older kernels and then run the listupgrades command it
shows no updates
[root@centos5server ~]# rpm -e kernel-PAE-2.6.18-348.3.1.el5
[root@centos5server ~]# rpm -e kernel-PAE-2.6.18-348.4.1.el5
[root@ centos5server ~]# rhn-profile-sync
spacecmd {SSM:0}> system_listupgrades rich-iweb-10-rv
WARNING: No upgrades available for rich-iweb-10-rv
Does this explain it? it's listing the update twice - once for each of the out
of date kernels. The GUI must have some logic that covers this case that the
API doesn't have.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] spacecmd system_listupgrades not working
Hi,
We currently have some systems configured with spacewalk and wanted to play
around with spacecmd.
The problem is the output of spacecmd system_listupgrades. Somehow there is a
package-cache or something, because the system_listupgrades-command returns the
list of not installed packages including the latest kernel-packages.
However in the spacewalk-web-GUI these updates aren't listed. Can someone
explain or confirm this behavior? We are running Spacewalk 2.0 with Oracle as
backend.
Met vriendelijke groet,
