The https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall page says

    Then just ask yum to install the application:

    rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-former
    rpm -e specspo && yum install spacewalk

and indeed, the specspo conflicts with

    Error: spacewalk-backend-app conflicts with specspo
    Error: spacewalk-backend-xp conflicts with specspo

Why do those packages not like specspo? The .spec says

# We really don't need specspo installed, it will do bad things when we read
    # rpms

but maybe we should be able to fix those bad things, rather than force
user to remove package which is in @base?


As I recall cliff mentioning to me once.. there is a bug in the specspo libraries with rpm which cause apache heap corruption due to specspo translating strings within memory when you use rhnpush to upload packages into a Satellite it would not free memory correctly.. I may have been fixed in specspo now..I'm not sure about that.

oops I meant "they may have fixed in specspo now" .. not I :)
