[Spacewalk-list] Issue installing 2.7 on RHEL 7

And another update.  Bug from 2013 seems to be back.  Followed steps in
this bug report for creatlang, and install of db works. 

Old bug report: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=903487


So that issue solved........moving on.  Gets all the way through
install.....then bombs on setting up the cerificate store.  missing
rhnlib is the error.  The rhnlib rpm is installed.  Still working on
this one.


This all begs the question........is 2.7 even remotely ready for RHEL
7?  I have NEVER had this many issues setting up Spacewalk, one bug
after another.
