I fixed this issue and built new updates on Wednesday. I  dont think 
they synced the repo yet with these new packages.

Zeus, when you get a chance, can you pull the updated spacewalk-backend 
and spacewalk-java packages into the 0.5 repo? I already built em into 
koji. I still see older ones in the repo.
