[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.9 error when registering OEL8 client

[Avi Miller]

The dnf-plugin-spacewalk that ships with OL8 won't work, because it has been modified to register with ULN, so you'll need to replace it with the Spacewalk 2.9 client packages. However, I'm not sure if there are CentOS 8 client packages yet.
