In java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/manager/rhnpackage/PackageManager.java: private static final String REDHAT_RELEASE_PACKAGE = "redhat-release"; Hard-coding the 'redhat-release' package name prevents us from changing the name of that package. Instead, you could check for what Provides redhat-release. Alternatively, the name of the "release" package is stored in channel metadata in the RHN db.
Going to align this to Galatica, the release which will support RHEL 6. Cliff
This should be fixed as of commit 34029786a88b37bb71dc64a133dfab937abc6d82 Need spacewalk-java-1.2.21-1 or higher to test.
