[Spacewalk-list] Adding SLE_SP3 client

[William Hongach]

Hello all,

I have a working Spacewalk server that is able to serve packages to RHEL clients.  I am now attempting to get some SLES clients registered with the server.  Following the documentation for registering clients, I pointed our SLE_SP3 host to the correct zypper repo at opensuse.org, but received the following error when attempting to install rhn-client-tools et al:

"Problem: nothing provides python-newt needed by python2-rhn-client-tools-2.9.1-1.1.noarch"

I have verified that the python-newt package is not installed on the host.  However, this is due to the fact that this package is in the "SUSE Manager Server 3.x" repo, which requires a separate subscription apart from SLES.  It seems counter-intuitive to require a package that comes in the SUSE Manager Server repo which is SUSE's proprietary alternative to Spacewalk OSS.  I am hoping that I have overlooked something and there is alternative access to python-newt and any other additional packages (newt, libnewt, etc.) that I may need to get the RHN client software working in SLES.

Any insight or assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
