1.4.1 Oracle Linux 6 Update 8 Fails to Run yum Commands After Registration

Registration of an Oracle Linux 6 Update 8 server succeeds with the built-in packages, but subsequent yum commands fail with the error: "KeyError: 'X-RHN-Auth-Expiration’”. Installing the full Spacewalk 2.4 client for Oracle Linux 6 resolves this problem and should be done prior to registration. Follow the steps that are described in Spacewalk for Oracle® Linux: Client Life Cycle Management Guide for Release 2.4.
