Hello Ludovic,

I tried to reproduce your issue but it worked for me as expected.
On the other hand setting useNoSSLForPackages=1 turns off not only https
but also location aware updates i.e. packages from RHN are provided by a
content delivery network (CDN). So I guess you are behind a strict
firewall which don't let you to go to CDN but only to RHN.

So you probably need to update your firewall settings as described on

% Hi all,
%

%

% 1)
% On the RHEL 6 (which is subscribe on the RHN), I install the
