[Spacewalk-list] Missing dependency: package python(abi) = 2.5 is required by package rhnlib

Hey there,

I have a CentOS 5.2 client that was registered with a spacewalk 0.1 
server. When I tried to register it against another v0.2 server 
specifying the --force option for rhnreg_ks the registration failed with 
'Internal server error' and I received 5 traceback mails.

I assumed that the problem was that I needed to update spacewalk-related 
packages on the client to those of release 0.2, but when I try to do so 
the update fails due to my python version:

'Missing dependency: package python(abi) = 2.5 is required by package 
rhnlib'

Thing is, python-2.5 RPMs for CentOS are nowhere to be found; the latest 
available released  version is 2.4.3-21.el5. How should I work this out? 
Do I install a Fedora python-2.5 RPM? Can I update rhnlib ignoring 
dependencies and expect it to work just fine with my current version of 
python?

Thanks.

Adrián.
