[Spacewalk-list] Error bootstrapping Fedora 28, missing Everything repo (base channel)

[Kevin Olbrich]

Hi!

I try to deploy a fedora28 client (server edition) using spacewalk.

This is my channel layout:
*Parent-Channel: fedora-28-x86_64 # Everything repo linked*
Sub-Channel: fedora-28-x86_64-icinga # 3rd party repo linked
Sub-Channel: fedora-28-x86_64-opennebula  # 3rd party repo linked
Sub-Channel: fedora-28-x86_64-rpmfusion  # 3rd party repo linked
Sub-Channel: fedora-28-x86_64-rpmfusion-nf  # 3rd party repo linked
Sub-Channel: fedora-28-x86_64-spacewalk  # 3rd party repo linked
Sub-Channel: fedora-28-x86_64-updates # Updates repo linked

Then I got an activation key, linking to above channels.

This activation key is linked to my kickstart profile, based on above
parent channel.
I have temporarily removed all additional packages from the kickstart
profile.

When I boot my server using PXE, i can select the kickstart profile and the
system starts installation.
*After this, I get a "Question" from anaconda, asking if I want to skip
"perl".*

Package "perl" is in the Everything repo, which is not listed in the
kickstart file:

...
skipx
repo --name=fedora-28-x86_64-icinga --baseurl=
http://cloudmgr03.mgmt.example.com/ks/dist/child/fedora-28-x86_64-icinga/fedora-28-server-x86_64
repo --name=fedora-28-x86_64-rpmfusion-nf --baseurl=
http://cloudmgr03.mgmt.example.com/ks/dist/child/fedora-28-x86_64-rpmfusion-nf/fedora-28-server-x86_64
repo --name=fedora-28-x86_64-opennebula --baseurl=
http://cloudmgr03.mgmt.example.com/ks/dist/child/fedora-28-x86_64-opennebula/fedora-28-server-x86_64
repo --name=fedora-28-x86_64-updates --baseurl=
http://cloudmgr03.mgmt.example.com/ks/dist/child/fedora-28-x86_64-updates/fedora-28-server-x86_64
repo --name=fedora-28-x86_64-rpmfusion --baseurl=
http://cloudmgr03.mgmt.example.com/ks/dist/child/fedora-28-x86_64-rpmfusion/fedora-28-server-x86_64
autopart --type=plain
...

Most likely it would work by removing the repo from the parent channel and
moving it down to it's own sub-channel.
This does not match the installation instructions.

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards
Kevin
