[cobbler] cobbler reposync does not work for CentOS6 updates repo

[Rainer Duffner]

Hi,


I have configured a repo:

Name                           : CentOS6-AMD64-updates
Arch                           : x86_64
Breed                          : yum
Comment                        : CentOS6 updates
Createrepo Flags               : <<inherit>>
Environment Variables          : {}
Keep Updated                   : True
Mirror                         :
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/updates/x86_64/ Mirror
locally                 : True Owners                         :
['admin'] Priority                       : 99
RPM List                       : []
Yum Options                    : {}


Upon running reposync, I get:


[root@zeus1 ~]# cobbler reposync --only="CentOS6-AMD64-updates"

!!! TASK FAILED !!!


So, the repomd.xml file get's downloaded, but somehow, it wants to
access the wrong "primary.sqlite" file.
From goggling, I can see that this file carries a date of 2012-12-07,
while the current files are dated 2012-12-10.

Does it matter that the system running reposync is RHEL5?



Thanks in advance.
