Tue Aug 9 04:29:20 UTC 2016

Strip the /rpm/x86_64 from the URL. Should run then.

> The reason why I am using SW is because I have both RHEL and SLES servers in my environment.  I evaluated purchasing Red Hat Satellite server and SuSE Package Management Server.  However, I cannot afford purchasing both products and licenses all of my systems, so I opted for Spacewalk.  Spacewalk is the upstream development for both platforms and I can have a single pain of glass for both environments.
