Initially I guessed it was my mistake, but I could sucessfully deploy and manage almost all supported CentOS/RedHat/Oracle versions and some old Fedora releases in my tests. Kickstartable trees created by spacewalk-repo-sync for the latest Fedora versions did not have the needed files, making broken distro-trees. Adding the files manually leads to an absent file, another absent file... until Anaconda aborts claiming about @core packages being not found. It appears to be the installer generation script "Fedora" is outdated in Spacewalk.

It seems that there are few people using the combination Spacewalk 2.5 / Fedora 22-23, so I could not find someone to give me any light.
