[Spacewalk-list] upgrade of 2.6 to 2.7-nightly fails on RHEL/CentOS 6

[Eric Herget]

I had responded to Jeffrey directly when I meant to reply to the list so 
others could benefit...

There is a HowToUpgradeNightly document on the wiki here - 
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgradeNightly

Spacewalk Nightly (and the upcoming 2.7 release) no longer uses the 
jpackage repo.  There is a step in the upgrade process to remove some of 
the packages that come from the jpackage repo (those with ".jpp5") if 
you are running on RHEL6.  I did the upgrade process the other day and I 
ended up removing all the packages that had come from the jpackage repo.

Also note, the upgrade process requires versionlock of quartz if you are 
running on Fedora.
