% I am currently running Spacewalk 1.9 on Fedora 18.  For the past 2 weeks (approximately) I have been watching yum update fail on Spacewalk deps (see http://pastebin.com/FXvjBwxt ).  I tried individually updating the spacewalk 1.9 packages hoping that a spacewalk update would resolve the dep issues.

Spacewalk requires (and ships) older version of quartz and hibernate.
The quartz issue has been already fixed in nightly repo and we are
working on fixing quartz dependencies too.

As for now you can add
        exclude = quartz hibernate
to your /etc/yum.conf as a temporary workaround.
