Only 11.2.0.1 passed fresh spacewall 1.7 install. I suppose that 11.2.0.3 EE in RedHat office differs from a basic default install. There is no other explanation. I haven't tried any more install tests since March - my project was put on hold - don't know if the same error is stil reproducible with latest spacewalk.

Granted, RedHat DB admin may have used some clever options which prevented the error in first place.

What did Oracle support tell you when you reported this issue to them?
Is it a bug and as such, when will it be fixed or what's the
workaround? Or is it considered an expected behaviour?

Ranting about Spacewalk developers' inability will not solve the
issue, will it?
