[Spacewalk-list] centos-errata.py & package_dir value

[Peter Purvis]

Thanks Ege,

I've just tried against our updates repo, which it turns out is really out
of date which in turn causes the script to fail as it can't find the
packages.

Will grab a more recent sync now and see if that works.

Seems a bit counter intuitive that the packages are needed for the errata
script to work? Perhaps someone can explain the process.
