Lessons learned:

#1: Friends don't let friends hit ctrl+c while the installation process 
of an application is still running and expect the resulting application 
to be stable and work correctly.

#2: If you find yourself manually changing permissions of configuration 
files necessary for an application to run, you're DOING IT WRONG. [1]

#3: If you didn't install a machine yourself, don't trust that it was a 
clean or otherwise a non-one-off install. Investigate! :)

#4: Although the Spacewalk community here I think has gone to great 
lengths in trying to help resolve this problem, other communities may 
not have taken the time to do the same. Sometimes if you really need 
support your best bet is to purchase a support license.

I hope this list is both fair and appropriate for your Friday dose of 
amusement (or Saturday as it may be in your TZ), if not I apologize and 
please direct flames to me personally. :)

Thank you Mark for your patience with Spacewalk and for not giving up on 
Spacewalk. as well as for the apology as Smooge said we know is not 
always easy!
