Hello Javier,

we upgraded 20 SLES 11 sp/1/2/4  VM's to SLES SP4

we faced the same Issue and made a few tests with a Testbox.

Solution1  Deinstallation of the SLES Release File worked.

We had no further issue regarding the sles-release RPM

What was annoying was a different problem but that's a different topic
and Proxy Problem.

If you want to be completely sure stick to the Spacewalk Agent Version
2.2, we had a few issues regarding the Spacewalk 2.3 Agent.

Good luck and kind regards

bernd
