[Spacewalk-list] Wrong ELF Class error when runningspacewalk-setup --disconnected

  Unfortunately, the same error occurs. Is there a way to back out
  spacewalk and all the deps cleanly?

Yup... I went through this dance as well.  Removed all the i386 packages
(if you use yum remove on a few of the ones you know are i386 like
perl-DBD-Oracle or cx_Oracle it will get most of the other ones due to
dependencies), and kept rebuilding and installing the x86_64 versions
from source until yum stopped trying to resolve any of the dependencies
from the spacewalk repo (which was only i386 at the time).

Getting x86_64 versions of perl-DBD-Oracle and cx_Oracle (python) to
install was challenging because it appears that at least the 64-bit
version of the oracle-instantclient-devel package didn't seem to
properly inform RPM what libraries it provides(?).  So even when I
rebuilt DBD-Oracle and cx_Oracle from the source RPM myself using the
correct libraries (and on the same machine), yum wouldn't install the
binary RPM because it had failed dependencies on the Oracle libraries,
e.g.:

Error: Missing Dependency: libclntsh.so.10.1()(64bit) is needed by
package cx_Oracle

After banging my head for a long time, I finally gave up and installed
my rebuilt RPMs using rpm --nodeps.  Hopefully the ones from the
repository don't have these problems, but I wanted to mention it just in
case you run into the same issue.
