Description of problem: /etc/init.d/rhn-satellite always start/stops /etc/init.d/rhn-database. Even if external db is configured. Any errors is silently ignored, so it seem working, but under hood it is broken. Furthemore if you do rpm -e rhn-dobby , which is control package for embedded db, it remove /etc/init.d/rhn-database and /etc/init.d/rhn-satellite will report errors. So dependency between rhn-satellite-admin and rhn-dobby is missing.
Michael - will this get fixed in next few days for Spacewalk 0.3?
Hope so, working on it :).
move back to space04 if you get this fixed in next day or so, we are looking to build space03 packages now.
Fixed in git repo commit e954a1875fff57e03a5f04b8fd22db71d75d94ec 455421 - removed rhn-database
Verified.
