Well ... if you have at least two full channel (like full centos or full 
fedora) then it is expected.

No. It is not stable. In nighlty build you should be able to install 
Spacewalk, create first user and log in to Overview. Any other page will 
give you more or less error. And we are looking for contributor who will 
help us to fix those queried one by one. Sadly no one volunteer yet.

Either dedicate someone who will contribute to PgSQL support in 
Spacewalk or buy license from Oracle.
