Michael,
Thanks for the response.
I did run spacewalk-data-fsck. The channels were for rpmforge which, as we
know, has ridden off into the sunset. Perhaps I didn't remove the
channels/repositories/packages in proper order? What I ended up doing is
deleting the packages manually e.g. " find . -type f -name '*rf.noarch.rpm'
-exec rm {} +". After I did that, I ran spacewalk-data-fsck, but got no
output. I know I should rtfm, but I'll ask anyway - what's the proper way to
remove a channel and its associated packages?
Thanks again.
Dimitri
editorial: Rpmforge, originally created in 2002 by Dag Wieers, and known as
the Dag RPM Repository for a long time, was the first non-Redhat repository. I
used it from its inception, and it saved my bacon lots of times. Thanks, Dag!

spacewalk-data-fsck --remove should do it. If not then packages are still
referenced from the database. Maybe they were linked to more channels and one
of them is still alive?
