[Spacewalk-list] Missing packages when trying out kickstarts for Centos 5.2

Hello there,
I'm trying out kickstarting CentOS 5.2 systems.
So far I've created the base channel, pushed the distro's rpms into it,
uploaded the kickstart tree (if make-ks-tree reported any errors, I
didn't see them, everything seemed fine) and created a new kickstart
profile associated to said channel and tree.
I'm writing because I'm getting the following message in the profile's
detail page:
"This kickstart profile uses a base channel that is missing packages. In
order for all kickstart functionality to work correctly, the following
packages should be present in this kickstart's base channel: pyOpenSSL,
rhnlib, libxml2-python, rhn-kickstart*."
Now, I've checked and double checked and both pyOpenSSL and
libxml2-python happen to be in the ks's base channel. The rhn* packages
are not, and they are not included in base CentOS distributions. Due to
another problem I had, I saw that rhnlib seems to be in the spacewalk
repo, so I figured I can get it from there (and that in fact I should
get all client-related spacewalk packages), but what about
rhn-kickstart? where should I pick that from? and why is spacewalk
complaining about the packages that are in fact there?
Any tips would be highly appreciated.
Regards.
Adrián.
