[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart shows missing packages?

[Will Beldman]

This setup worked perfectly fine on my development instance, but on my 
production instance, I am getting the following message when I create a 
Kickstart profile:
==================================================
The following packages are not available in any of the channels associated to 
this kickstart profile: pyOpenSSL, rhnlib, libxml2-python, libxml2, spacewalk-
koan*. In order for all kickstart functionality to work correctly, these 
packages should be present in at least one channel associated to this profile.
==================================================
This appears to be in error because the Base Channel I've specified definitely 
has all those packages. They also appear in the distro I've associated with 
this kickstart profile.

I suspected that there might be a problem with the number of packages in the 
channel but even if I setup a new channel with just the base repository in it, 
I still get the same error message.

I tried to initiate a kickstart anyway and it dies early on in the 
installation process (trying to install the tzdata package - if that has 
anything to do with anything)

So beyond verifying that the packages are there, I don't even know where to 
begin troubleshooting.
