I have a question about the dependancy management when we upgrade client
packages from spacewalk: are the dependancies automatically installed or
not?

Yes.  Your install request just maps to a yum command as far as I'm aware.

Same question when installing package.  I've registered a rhel 5.4 client in
spacewalk server with a base channel containing rhel 5.6 packages.  When I
launched the upgrade of all the packages, the task failed with error
"missing dependancy python-libs for python". I've installed pyhon-libs,
relaunched the upgrade, it was successful. Python-libs was of course
available in the base channel.  Is there a configuration error on my set up?

You'd want a proper trace of what it was trying to do.  I'd guess rhn_check
-vvvvv would give you what you needed.
