Description of problem:
I have an Ubuntu client (13.04) registered to my SpaceWalk-server, using the apt-transport-spacewalk and rhnsd from the official Ubuntu repositories...

Package installation/removal/updating seems to work fine, but each time I submit something, I have to wait for rhnsd to run rhn_check in a given interval..

I wanted to get OSAD to run on Ubuntu as well..

I found the repository that Miroslav Suchý have created for Debian, (http://miroslav.suchy.cz/spacewalk/debian) but I found the there are missing some dependecies (python-rhnlib and pyjabber).. Also the OSAD startup script didn't work on Ubuntu...

I have created the following repository:

https://launchpad.net/~mj-casalogic/+archive/spacewalk-ubuntu/

Fixed the dependencies and startup scripts.. 

One of the dependencies, pyjabber, is actually in the official Ubuntu repository under another name, python-jabber, but it has to be altered before it will work with OSAD: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256956... When this is done, the pyjabber package will be obsolete...

But for now I have OSAD running on Ubuntu, it starts up fine and it connects to the Spacewalk server..

2013/12/03 15:42:59 +02:00 1524 192.168.239.131: xmlrpc/registration.register_osad_jid

But nothing happens when I submit something to the system (updates, pings, whatever)...

Can someone please help me debug, where it goes wrong....


How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Spacewalk
2. Register Ubuntu client
3. Add https://launchpad.net/~mj-casalogic/+archive/spacewalk-ubuntu/ repository to Ubuntu server

4. Start osa-dispatcher on Spacewalk and OSAD on Ubuntu Client
5. Alter system in Spacewalk interface

Actual results:
Nothing happens before rhnsd checks in (every 240 minutes)

Expected results:
Package install/upgrade/remove/pings should happen
