python-hwdata for Fedora 20 was an attempt to fix the dependency problem
(for rhn-client-tools-2.0.1-1) that occurred during the install of the
rhn-setup package... there is no python-hwdata package in standard EL6
repository:

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

Specifying "--skip-broken" isn't particularly healthy...

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
    rhn-check-2.0.1-1.el6.noarch from spacewalk-client
    rhn-client-tools-2.0.1-1.el6.noarch from spacewalk-client
    rhn-setup-2.0.1-1.el6.noarch from spacewalk-client
