Surprise. The issue just disappeared on its own after persisting for about 2-3 
months. Last night I accidentally found out that the Zombie profile has 
disappeared from the list. Not sure how or why, but it is all good now.

Thanks,
Prakash

Hi Robert,

I deleted using the puppet command from CLI. But when it shows up in the GUI 
again, I can't delete it from the web GUI because the profile is not selectable 
as it has no HREF link. I hope that is clear.

If you do find a way to get into the database and clear this up, please let me 
know.

Thanks,
Prakash

To clarify
You waited till it repopulate in the web GUI and deleted it from the web GUI 
right? Not via spacecmd.
Spacecmd is an external project that is commonly used but was not originally 
part of the main code base. While it works well usually it does have occasional 
bugs in how it interacts with the APIs.
If this is the case it sounds like you had a partially completed delete. And it 
may need to be manually removed from the database unfortunately I'm not really 
sure how to do that. While I have done some direct tinkering with it when I've 
needed to I'm not familiar within enough to give you exact instructions on how 
to do that.

Hello,

Anyone? Is this something that can only be done by working directly with the 
database?

Hi Paul,

That sounds good, but I can't delete it from the GUI because it does not 
present itself as a HREF link to select and perform "delete kickstart" 
operation. That is the main issue I have which I explained in the first email 
of this thread.

When I use "spacecmd", I hit the same wall.

You have to remove it from spacewalks interface not via cobbler profile 
--remove.
The reason it comes back is because spacewalk populates cobbler from spacewalks 
database, so the next time spacewalk executes a cobbles sync it will put it 
right back.
Remove it via the web interface or via one of the spacewalk command line tools 
and it won't come back any more.

Hi,

When I do

cobbler profile remove --name …

The profile disappears from the web interface temporarily, but soon after, it 
comes back. Thanks for your help.

Thanks,
Prakash

Did you ever get a solution to this?  I have a similar problem with a
couple of kickstarts showing up in Satellite but I can't click them or
delete or anything.

   Hello,

   Not sure how, but our site now has a zombie KS profile. Here is
   how it shows up in the KS list.

   Label - CentOS-6-x86_64-rescue:1:Org
   Shows as "Active"
   Distribution - CentOS-6-x86_64:1:Org
   Spacewalk Managed - X (Not)

   Looks like we got into a Cobbler/Spacewalk mismatch somehow. We
   did run out of space on the SW server file system a few weeks ago,
   so this could have been a by product of that. I am not sure how to
   clear this out of Spacewalk.

   "cobbler sync" does not help.

   More info:

   There is another kickstart whose label is "CentOS-6-x86_64-rescue"
   in SW. When I select this KS in the web fronted, I get the
   following in catalina.out.

   2013-10-21 21:52:33,852 [TP-Processor1] WARN

   ?

   I think this KS has an issue which is instead showing up as an
   additional zombie KS.

   Prakash
