Issue

• Kickstart undesirably provides the latest version of libxml2 instead of the version in the cloned channel.

• In the post section of our RHEL6 kickstarts I see the following actions in order to make the Satellite registration possible:

  ...
  %post --log /root/ks-rhn-post.log
  ...
  mkdir -p /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional
  cd /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional 
  wget -P /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional ....
  rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional/...
  ...
  

• The chosen version libxml2-2.7.6-17.el6_6.1.x86_64.rpm sometimes is giving us an (dependency) issue while this version is newer then the version in our cloned base channels, which is libxml2-2.7.6-14.el6_5.2.x86_64.rpm.

• It seems like this section is created dynamically, is it possible to manipulate this section of the kickstart? How does it determine the version to use?
