yum -v repolist | grep url

Nothing jumps out at me on duplicates.
The
URLs that aren't my spacewalk server--are they simply ignored because
the system is managed? I don't quite understand that although I have
read the documentation. This is my 1st spacewalk server, FYI.

I
have started this process and looked at packages installed on the
DVD--yes, there is a list and *in theory* there are several places you
can get it including /root/anaconda-ks.cfg--but again this isn't exactly
as described because it seems things are missing. This I'm still
researching and making progress--mostly through rtfm activities :-)
Additional Note: The reason this really "jumped out" to me was I couldn't find libre-office installed. So I just tried installing the group even though yum reported the group as installed and look:
yum groupinstall "Office/Productivity"
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
fedora18-x86-64/group | 1.6 MB 00:00
fedora18-x86-64/group | 1.6 MB 00:00
Failed to retrieve group file for repository: fedora18-x86-64
Warning: Group office does not have any packages to install.
No packages in any requested group available to install or update
I've tried looking in the Spacewalk docs for how groups are handled but without success. What's going wrong that my client and/or my Spacewalk server can't find groups?
Again, from the client note:
yum grouplist installed
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
