Created attachment 325496 [details] Spacewalk Installation Log from /var/log/rhn/rhn-installation.log
The problems stems from the fact that the permissions of the /etc/sysconfig/rhn-satellite-prep/etc directory are dependent on the umask. Which in turn is caused by the fact that this directory is not owned by any package (not even) spacewalk-config. I believe that the correct fix is to add /etc/sysconfig/rhn-satellite-prep/etc to spacewalk-config's %files list.
Fix commited in 26dfb87e817970074b7268dac14b5b1b9f57047a and 5cd50efd750c8c4e1526c81da01dac61ebd6cb2a.
I activated satellite without problem. VERIFIED.
