[Spacewalk-list] Adding SLE_SP3 client

[Flores, Javier (D4\INF\IT ID)]

Hi

Which repository at opensuse.org are you using?

You can find all the needed packages including python2-newt in this repository:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/spacewalk:/2.8/SLE_12_SP3/

Other versions of the spacewalk client can be found here:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/spacewalk:/

Regards,
Javier

Betreff: [Spacewalk-list] Adding SLE_SP3 client

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.
