Hi William python2-newt contains a binary file, that is why it is only available for x86_64. So, you will have to create all packages containing binaries for x390 by yourself.
You can either get the source RPMs and build the x390 RPMs on a local system with rpmbuild or you can try to build the packages on the openSUSE Build Service (OBS). I just recently started using the OBS and I think that is the better way to go. However, it takes some time to understand how everything works.

When I run "zypper install rhn-client-tools" it reports the following: "Problem: nothing provides python-newt needed by python2-rhn-client-tools-2.8.25-3.1.noarch" I see that python2-newt is provided for x86_64 architecture, but nothing for noarch packages, and I don't see it included in the source packages either so I'm a bit stumped. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Flores, Javier (D4\INF\IT ID) <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2018 3:12:37 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Adding SLE_SP3 client Hi Which repository at opensuse.org are you using?

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.
