If you configured the Red Hat Update Agent to install the latest packages, then your System Profile stored by Spacewalk will be updated automatically after the packages are installed. However, if you only download the latest RPM packages using the Red Hat Update Agent, download the RPM packages from the Web interface, or upgrade/install/remove RPM packages yourself, your System Profile will not be updated automatically. You will need to send your updated System Profile to the RHN servers.
To synchronize the RPM package list on your local system and on Spacewalk, run the command:
up2date -p |
After running this command, your RHN System Profile will reflect the latest software versions installed on your system.
