Hi all

Yesterday I had a chat with Steve Meier about problems import errata (with CEFS 
- http://cefs.steve-meier.de/ ) which we had since a few weeks.
Logs says that some CVE-Issues are already existing and thus cannot be created. 
But they are not listed within WebUI nor with spacecmd "errata_list".

Steve's suggestion that there might be some database entries (errata) which are 
not "handled" by WebUI / Spacecmd or generally the API calls was right. In our 
case the following steps solved the issue and we again can import errata 
information from CEFS (and EPEL repo sync):


1.       Using spacecmd tool delete all errata: spacecmd -u [youruser] -y 
"errata_delete *"

2.       Have a look into database (table rhnerrata) and you may find still 
entries within ("Select * from rhnerrata")

3.       Delete leftover entries with "delete * from rhnerrata)

This solved our issues about complaining duplicates (importing errata which 
already exists - exact log message below). Just in case anyone else is 
struggling with this.
But as you see sql-commands are in use here (dangerous!), you may destroy your 
spacewalk installation upon using wrong commands / behaviour.

Kind regards,
Rolf
