Hi Michael

Thanks again, your suggestion worked like a charm.

After configuring the spacewalk nightly-candidate-client repo (f12), I updated 
the following packages:
yum-rhn-plugin-0.8.4-1.fc12                   Wed 27 Jan 2010 11:04:52 AM GMT
rhnsd-4.8.2-1.fc12                            Wed 27 Jan 2010 11:03:01 AM GMT
rhnlib-2.5.19-1.fc12                          Wed 27 Jan 2010 11:03:01 AM GMT
yum-3.2.25-1.fc12                             Wed 27 Jan 2010 11:01:03 AM GMT
rhn-check-0.8.5-1.fc12                        Wed 27 Jan 2010 11:00:48 AM GMT
rhn-setup-0.8.5-1.fc12                        Wed 27 Jan 2010 11:00:47 AM GMT
rhn-client-tools-0.8.5-1.fc12                 Wed 27 Jan 2010 11:00:45 AM GMT
python-dmidecode-3.10.10-1.fc12               Wed 27 Jan 2010 10:56:59 AM GMT

And it's all working as it should, ie my fedora 12 client can register to my 
spacewalk (07 on fedora 12) and browse the repo
And install a package from the repo. 

On a side note, I've been using this link for my installs:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall

And there is no mention of the nightly-candidate-client repo. I'm pasting the 
url for others who search the mail archive.
baseurl=http://miroslav.suchy.cz/spacewalk/nightly-candidate-client/f12/$basearch/os/

Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Fedora 12 client & spacewalk yum issue

Hi Bruce,

% I've searched all the email I've received since the release of Fedora 12 % 
and I can't find any reference to an issue with fedora 12 yum being % 
incompatible with spacewalk.
...
% Differences in yum versions:
% fedora 12 client:
%    [r...@tlonxeng ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum
%    yum-utils-1.1.23-3.fc12.noarch
%    yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-14.fc12.x86_64
%    yum-presto-0.6.1-1.fc12.noarch
%    yum-rhn-plugin-0.7.6-1.fc12.noarch
%    yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch
%    PackageKit-yum-0.5.4-0.1.20091029git.fc12.x86_64
%    PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.5.4-0.1.20091029git.fc12.x86_64
%    anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-5.fc12.noarch
%    [r...@tlonxeng ~]#
%
%
% rhel 5.3 client:
%    [r...@tloninzerotouch ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum
%    yum-security-1.1.16-13.el5
%    yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.3-30.el5
%    yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5
%    yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5
%    yum-3.2.22-20.el5
%    [r...@tloninzerotouch ~]#
%
%
% Is it a known issue whereby Fedora 12 (presumably yum) is not able to % talk 
to spacewalk 0.7...and at a guess any version of spacewalk (I've % not yet 
tried 0.8.36-1)

during the last week or so there has been number of Fedora 12 bugs fixed in 
yum-rhn-plugin. So please install latest plugin (+ dependencies) from nightly 
client repo (yum-rhn-plugin-0.8.4-1.fc12).

And of course please report any issues.

Regards,
