[Spacewalk-list] yum-rhn-plugin

[Jonathan DeHaan]

I have run into a very strange issue with yum-rhn-plugin. I'd appreciate 
it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Running Spacewalk 1.5 with Oracle XE backend on Fedora 14 x64.
Clients are Fedora 15 x64, with the Fedora repositories disabled.
If I read the error messages correctly, it's telling me that there is a 
dependency error that the package it depends on is installed?

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

However, if I download the RPM directly and do a localinstall, it works.

Is this ok [y/N]:

Also, if I disable the base and child channels which contain the two 
RPMs for php-common and enable the regular Fedora updates channel, it works.

No output in catalina.out on server or /var/log/messages on client 
during these commands.

Any clues?
