I apologize for the extra e-mails. I am not sure what is going on at all. I 
really believed that the error message yesterday was for version 
libXent-1.2.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm but I misread it and fat fingered it. The error 
log in packaging.log shows libXext-1.3.3-3.el7.x86_64.rpm so I tried to 
download the rpm through spacewalk and it showed as being unavailable. I then 
did a find looking for the rpm on the file system and it found
./582/libXext/1.3.3-3.el7/x86_64/58284e32f1f3343c56722653e7870e8062c1570cd965802bc284da6480d9d366/libXext-1.3.3-3.el7.x86_64.rpm

If it is on the file system but showing as unavailable in Spacewalk where could 
the disconnect be coming from?

I did find the disconnect but I am not sure where the package information came 
from. After closer inspection the package the installer is complaining about 
(libXent-1.2.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm) is not in any channel nor is it in my install 
media. I did not look at the versions close enough. Currently 
(libXext-1.3.3-3.el7.x86_64.rpm) is the latest version in my parent channel. 
Where would this package information/repo be generated to give the incorrect 
version compared to what is in the channel?

I also had this problem, but with a different solution.

The files weren't actually there - they had been moved/disappeared when I 
discovered a configuration snafu when setting up. When we set up we had added 
packages to the parent Channel, but then decided to keep the parent channel 
clear, and only populate child channels. When we cleared the packages out of 
the parent channel (they still existed in the child channel!), the download 
would fail and then the install would fail.

A re-configuration and confirming that the packages were still in the child 
channel was sufficient.

Doesn't sound like this is your issue - but check to make sure the kickstart is 
subscribed to the channel the package is in.

Do you have a spacewalk proxy/squid cache between the kickstarting system and

from the equation made it go away.

Hello,

I have been digging around the internet and the archives and have not found a 
solution. I have a kickstart for a CentOS 7 desktop and the packaging.log shows
INFO Packaging:   populate transaction set
ERR packaging:  error populating transaction after 10 retries: failure 
Packages/libXent-1.2.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm from anaconda:  [Errno 256] No more 
mirrors to try.

No packages have been installed. The package in question is in the main 
channel. Did I miss-configure my kickstart or is there some sort of disconnect 
with my parent channel? The kickstart was generated through spacewalk and was 
not created by hand.

Thank you.
