Hey everyone - I'm fairly new to the Spacewalk community . I'm currently 
setting up a kickstart environment to install RHEL-based Linux machines. We are 
connecting from client to server using a static IP. The kickstart connects to 
server and initializes OK, but then fails with the message during the beginning 
of installation:

"The file iputils-20071127-16.el6.x86_64.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a 
missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media."

>From the server side, there is a 404 error. I investigated, and it looks like 
>my Spacewalk server has iputils-20071127-17.el6.x86_64.rpm (version 17), but

I have:


1.       Verified that the "scientific6-x86_64" software channel is up-to-date 
(synced 12/22 11PM)

2.       Downloaded latest SL6.6 ISO and extracted directories to 
/var/distro-trees/scientific6-x86_64 :

a.       images

b.      isolinux

c.       Packages

d.      repodata

3.       Created a "scientific6-x86_64" distribution through the Spacewalk 
WebApp

4.       Created a "scientific6-x86_64" kickstart profile, using the 
"scientific6-x86_64" software channel

I've tried selecting "Ignore missing packages" in the kickstart profile, but 
the same error appears. How can I tell Spacewalk to look for the newer 
(current) versions of all packages?

Thanks,
Tim
