[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk provisioning through kickstart error

[Jonathan Hoser]

Thats an old bug that many have hit sofar:
There is an issue with the centos 6.x repos...

Searching the list got me only semi-hits but I;m sure it is somewhere on
the lists:

Just do not include the Child-Channels and your kickstart will work!

Best
