Description of problem: If running install.pl on a newly installed and unregistered system, the installer fails with this message: * Installing RHN packages. Could not install RHN packages. Most likely your system is not configured with the @Base package group. See the RHN Satellite Server Installation Guide for more information about Software Requirements. Exit value: 1. Please examine /var/log/rhn/rhn-installation.log for more information. Examining the log shows this: Public key for perl-NOCpulse-Gritch-1.27.4-1.el5sat.noarch.rpm is not installed If the key is manually imported with "rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release" then after starting the installer again, everything works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 5.4 RHN Satellite 5.3 How reproducible: Always with these versions Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a RHEL system with @Base that is not registered to RHN 2. Run install.pl and enter RHN credentials to register system during install 3. View error Actual results: RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release must be manually imported. Expected results: The installer should import the key as part of the package installation process to avoid this error. Additional Information: Alternatively, as the installer has just registered the system with RHN in this scenario, the user can perform an yum update or install a package and answer "y" to the yum prompt to import the key, then run the installer again.
Confirmed with RHEL 5.5 too.
Same problem with: RHEL 5.4 RHN Satellite 5.4
Added check for missing gpg-pubkey and rpm --import in Spacewalk master, ab87b9fa903e320397dafced26a6ae9831d160d7.
Two more fixes in Spacewalk master, c4a1be1f4a8dc0420082db545df0e8a014735871 and 2e4bb9e4a4f5b2d4a0d9e72c3c66e3f8bcc6e4f8.

This is NOT resolved in 5.5. I have installed Base group, confirmed with YUM that base group is installed, it is also in my anaconda.ks, proof my kickstart file installed with base group. Satellite 5.5 still fails with this error.
Does /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release exist before the Satellite installation comences? In any case, please open a support ticket with Red Hat to assist you with the installation.
