VERIFIED
on sat6.3.0-17

el7,el6 and el5 satellite-tools repository now contain the katello-host-tools package, which contains the yum package profile update plugin.

- This package does not contain the gofer component, so there is no goferd running while using this setup, limiting the host management functionality to only uploading the package profile after installing/removing/updating packages and successfully triggers the satellite tasks, such as 'errata applicability', etc.
in order to trigger the package, pgroup, errata installation, etc. one is able to use REX via SSH.
