[Spacewalk-list] SLES11 SP1 spacewalk-channel-sync fails - duplicate dependencies

[Martin Zehetmayer]

Hi,
 
I am using spacewalk 1.5 nightly and try to import SLES11 SP1 to a custom channel. Most of the packages
will import without problems but there are about 400 packages which have duplicate dependencies.

When examining the requirements of these packages there are a lot of (sles specific) multiple dependencies which are obviously manually defined, for example "suse_help_viewer" which can be found in three different packages (apache2, kdebase4-runtime and yelp). I am aware that this is a SLES specific problem, but as far as I know there had been a commitment from novell (or now attachemate) that the changes made for "Suse Manager" will come back to the spacewalk project.

So my question is: 
* How can I get the whole SLES tree into spacewalk? Am I missing something? I have tried different approaches but all affort ends in the problem with the duplicated dependencies. 

Any help is appreciated. 

Best regards,
