Hello all,

I have a working Spacewalk server that is able to serve packages to RHEL 
clients.  I am now attempting to get some SLES clients registered with the 
server.  Following the documentation for registering clients, I pointed our 
SLE_SP3 host to the correct zypper repo at opensuse.org, but received the 
following error when attempting to install rhn-client-tools et al:

"Problem: nothing provides python-newt needed by 
python2-rhn-client-tools-2.9.1-1.1.noarch"

I have verified that the python-newt package is not installed on the host.  
However, this is due to the fact that this package is in the "SUSE Manager 
Server 3.x" repo, which requires a separate subscription apart from SLES.  It 
seems counter-intuitive to require a package that comes in the SUSE Manager 
Server repo which is SUSE's proprietary alternative to Spacewalk OSS.  I am 
hoping that I have overlooked something and there is alternative access to 
python-newt and any other additional packages (newt, libnewt, etc.) that I may 
need to get the RHN client software working in SLES.

Any insight or assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in 
advance.
