The package perl-Params-Validate is in EPEL. So I assume you do not
have EPEL yum repo configured / enabled correctly. Please follow

I should also note that Spacewalk 1.6 was released today so if you
are doing a fresh installation, you might want to use that instead
of 1.5, saving yourself one upgrade step.
