Trouble Installing Spacewalk on RHEL 5

The reason I'm having trouble is that the spacekwalk repos/rpms require oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm

The error looks like this...

Code:

Error: Missing Dependency: oracle-instantclient-sqlplus >= 10.2.0 is needed by package spacewalk-oracle-1.1.6-1.el5.noarch (spacewalk)

The issue is that on the Oracle website there seems to be only oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.1.0-1.i386.rpm

Is there a workaround? ORRR...does anyone know where I can download oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.1.0-1.i386.rpm
?

Thanks

It doesnt require oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm

It requires GREATER than or equal to 10.2.0

I think 11.2.0.1.0-1 is greater than 10.2.0.4-1

Then I don't know what's wrong because...

Code:

[root@spacewalk tmp]# rpm -qa | grep oracle

oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.1.0-1

oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0

oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.1.0-1

I have 11 installed...

Is there an update for spacewalk, or are you using yum ?

I am using yum

Code:

[root@spacewalk ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/spacewalk.repo 

[spacewalk]

name=Spacewalk

baseurl=http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/1.1/RHEL/5/$basearch/

gpgkey=http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-spacewalk-2010

enabled=1

gpgcheck=1

Interesting...the ">=" changed to "=" when I specified my arch...

Code:

[root@spacewalk ~]# yum -y install oracle-lib-compat.x86_64

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems

                        package-cleanup --dupes

                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
