[Spacewalk-list] CentOS 6 Related Kickstart Problem in Spacewalk

[Giovanni Torres]

Is there not a libxml2-python in the Base channel?  As far as I know, if you include the Updates repo in the kickstart on CentOS 6, the kickstart process will fail.  (See here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4978)

I use the activation key to include the Updates repo on the system *after* the kickstart is completed.  Then I run the yum update manually after.  I'm not sure whether its ok to do 'yum update' at the tail end of the %post in a kickstart.

> Hi,
> 
> My attempts to solve this problem solo have been met with much frustration. I am attempting to kickstart a CentOS 6.3 system via pxeboot, cobbler and Spacewalk. I have an activation key set up to load several configuration files upon registration which is also supposed to install relevant rhn packages. An error occurs when attempting to install libxml2-python because the version of this package that the kickstart is attempting to install originates from the CentOS 6 updates repo channel; however, the dependency for this package which is also in the CentOS 6 updates repo channel is unavailable because the repo is not enabled in the kickstart. If I enable the repo in the kickstart, the install will not complete and produces an install.log file full of errors like the following:
> 
> Installing postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64
> warning: %post(postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
> 
> I’m at a loss at the moment for how to properly fix this problem as all of my searches have turned up no viable solutions. Any help here would be appreciated.
