[Spacewalk-list] centos-6 + spacewalk-postgresql: problem with cobbler setup

[Paul Robert Marino]

I suspect the problem might be the forced upgrade by the EPEL package
maintainer for cobbler from 2.0 to 2.2.
Try downgrading it I beleaive (although I'm not sure) the last 2.0 version
is still in the EPEL repo.
The upgrade after the initial install hasn't caused me any serious issues
that I've noticed on my test box other that a minor configuration issue I
figured out in second thanks to the diff command, however I haven't had
time to properly test it yet.
