[Spacewalk-list] Upgrade Spacewalk 2.6 to 2.8

[Matt Moldvan]

I believe it's there:

Remove conflicting packages

When running on RHEL6, Scientific Linux 6, CentOS 6, you need to remove
certain packages formerly installed from jpackage repo which are not used
anymore and cause dependency conflicts. Execute the following command:

# rpm -e --nodeps  axis-*-*.jpp5 jakarta-commons-logging-*-*.jpp5
jakarta-commons-diges...etcetc
