It’s “Oracle Linux” - we dropped the Enterprise about 4 years ago now. :)

Secondly, you need to remove up2date, up2date-gnome and all the dependencies before installing the Spacewalk 2.0 client. This is described in the Spacewalk for Oracle Linux release notes:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E51125/html/ol-sw-client-config.html

This is because up2date and up2date-gnome are not supported by Spacewalk and conflict with the Spacewalk client. You could use rpm -e --nodeps to remove the packages without removing the dependencies. Pirut will work with the Spacewalk client once installed (if necessary).

Thanks,
Avi
