Description Matej Susta 2013-07-25 10:26:20 UTC

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0

How reproducible:
Follow installation steps for 2.0 Spacewalk.

Actual results:
After installation there is no syslinux pkg installed making cobbler fail on distro/profile creation.

Expected results:
include syslinux into deps of some spacewalk metapackage - provisioning seems to be quite popular function of Satellite and it's a bit PITA that this package is not included in default install as it will break cobbler-sync - and you have to either know or get it from the logs. At least a note in installation instructions would be nice...
