[Spacewalk-list] Issue with initial Spacewalk Install

[Brian Rahn]

This happened to me when the Oracle DBI module itself failed.  In my
case, I had installed the 32-bit client on an otherwise 64-bit server,
so perl couldn't load it.  If you remove the eval {} protection around
the test, it will crash out with a real error.
