[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk 1.9 on RHEL6, breaks rhn:// repos

[Jens Neu]

Dear all,

I'm considering to run my spacewalk (currently on Centos 5) on a RHEL6 
host with active subscription instead of migrating to Centos 6. Gave it a 
try today, just to find out that as soon as the spacewalk repo is added, 
rhn-client-tools are (obviously) upgraded to the spacewalk- provided 1.9.x 
packages.

As soon as these are upgraded, the yum rhn plugin stops working and gives 
me

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository

on all rhn:// repos. 

I followed the ordinary 
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall19
Update that breaks it is:
