Tim Shaw 10/11/2021 11:59 >>> Hello

I recently removed some channels using the GUI in 2021.09 and somehow I managed to fail to delete the associated packages with the result that I now have a large number of packages in the system which belong to no channel. Attempts to process these 23000+ packages through the GUI result in a timeout error message on the web interface and it isn't clear whether any background process has actually started to purge these packages... Is there a command line way to deal with these packages now that they belong to no channel which will tell me what's going on without timing out? I cannot immediately see a spacewalk‑xxxx coammnd or a spacecmd subcommand which looks likely... Many thanks!
