I am new to the rollback functionality of Spacewalk 1.9 and experimenting with 
it for the first time.  I have historically used VMware snapshots as my 
rollback mechanism, but we purchased a company that has a ton of physical 
servers.

I found my way to system set manager and tagged a test system for system 
rollback.  Then I went to system rollback and selected the tag name I just 
created.  I ran a rhn_client -vv on the server I was trying to rollback and I 
get the dump below.  


From what I can tell, it tried to roll back to the former rpm package but 
couldn't since the old package wasn't in any of my channels.

Is this the right way to rollback packages with Spacewalk?  Is there a better 
way that works?
