[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk kickstart package dependencies

[James Feister]

Trying to kickstart a centos 7 system with spacewalk and cobbler.

The base for centos7 contains amongst others the following packages

rhn-client-tools-2.0.2-6.el7.noarch.rpm
rhnlib-2.5.65-2.el7.noarch.rpm

According to this branch on git hub
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/pull/215  some functions in
these packages were renamed from pune to puny.  The new packages from
http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.3-client/RHEL/7/x86_64/ reflect this
change.

rhnlib-2.5.75-1.el7.noarch.rpm
rhn-setup-2.3.16-1.el7.noarch.rpm


The problem is when creating a kickstart for the centos machine, there are
two lines a 'wget and rpm' that will only request and update the following
packages

libxml2-python-2.9.1-5.el7_1.2.x86_64.rpm
libxml2-2.9.1-5.el7_1.2.x86_64.rpm
pyOpenSSL-0.13.1-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
rhnlib-2.5.75-1.el7.noarch.rpm

The request and install are sucessfull but it  does not include the updated
rhn-client-tools that uses the newer puny naming.  It is when the client
executes rhnreg_ks that it is calling the original function names that have
changed.


I have tried removing the older package versions and replacing my kickstart
distribution basechannel packages with the newer ones but the dependencies
fail for the rhnlib-2.5.65-2.el7.noarch.rpm.

Am I overlooking something or is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,

Jim
