[Spacewalk-list] CentOS 7 install missing RHN utilities - Spacewalk 2.4

[Speagle, Andy]

Ok, so I pulled my head out about this enough to realize what you meant, Jeff… I was able to get beyond the part of the issue where it couldn’t find:

rhn-setup
rhn-client-tools
rhn-check

But… it then complained about missing dependencies for some python-* packages…

python-dmidecode
python-gudev
python-hwdata

BUT… these packages are *IN* the base channel… so, how can they be missing?  That makes exactly NO sense to me.  The installer can select and use packages from the child channel… but NOT the base channel?

Colour me confused…

I do see the packages at the end of the %packages section… and I do have a child channel with those packages included in the activation key for the kickstart profile… though it’s not specifically suffixed with “-client” … so I’m not sure what I’m missing at this point, I guess.

Thanks!

Just did a KS off 2.4. These pkgs are installed on my system (were with 2.3 as well).

Do you see the missing packages at the end of %packages in the 'Kickstart File' section? And you have the -client child channel enabled for that profile?

Hi Folks,

I had this problem under Spacewalk 2.3 and was hoping it was fixed in 2.4 …

The kickstart profile has a built-in post-install script/action called:

“Registration and server actions”

… which includes adding SSL/GPG keys… downloading some specific RHN packages via perma-links and installing them… then issuing registration actions using “rhnreg_ks” and “rhn_check” …

Well… these binaries aren’t in the packages that are downloaded via this built-in … which downloads only:

libxml2
rhnlib
pyOpenSSL
libxml2-python

… when it also needs to be grabbing…

rhn-setup
rhn-client-tools
rhn-check

… I’ve tried to overcome this using a separate post-install script that fires earlier in the sequence… but, I can’t figure out how to make the permalinks that are used in this script/action … nor can I figure out where this “Registration and server actions” script is located… so I can fix it.

Can someone clue me in on how to do either one or the other?

Thanks!

Andy Speagle
