Thanks much for this. I’m not seeing any difference in the behavior of my 16.04 clients. They are able to register, but doing a package update fails (any package):

At the risk of beating a dead horse, has anyone been able to successfully manage Ubuntu clients on 2.8? We have 14.04 & 16.04 clients and it would make my life so much easier if I could get them to reliably work. I have been able to get 14.04 to register, and even update (with minor issues), but not 16.x. Documentation is spotty out there in Google-land. Any help is appreciated! Hey, yeah, it's possible to successfully manage Ubuntu clients with Spacewalk 2.8. A couple of months ago, my colleague and I fixed the clients to work in Spacewalk git master (upcoming Spacewalk 2.9), and we backported this to the 2.8 clients. The sources are here: https://gitlab.com/datto/engineering/spacewalk-debian-client-packages We also built the packages and published them on OBS. You can use them by doing the following: # If you have older clients from Debian/Ubuntu repos $ sudo apt purge apt-transport-spacewalk rhnsd $ sudo apt autoremove # Installing the new packages $ sudo bash -c 'echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/spacewalk:/2.8:/debclients/xUbuntu_16.04/ /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spacewalk2.8-debclients.list' $ sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/spacewalk:/2.8:/debclients/xUbuntu_16.04/Release.key $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt install rhn-client-tools rhn-check rhn-setup rhnsd apt-transport-spacewalk rhncfg rhncfg-actions There are builds for xUbuntu 16.04 and 18.04, as well as Debian 8.0 and 9.0. Just swap "xUbuntu_16.04" in the instructions above for "xUbuntu_18.04" or "Debian_8.0" or "Debian_9.0". Future development of the clients are going into Spacewalk's next release. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
