I thought I'd give Spacewalk Proxy a try. So I followed instructions

And you done well.
I was surprised to see

Why aren't packages like

in that transaction?
That is long story. If you want just short answer - yes, it is working.
But it is winter time and you may want to read some story during long
evenings. So make yourself some hot tee and sit down comfortably. This
is story about chicken and egg...
In Satellite you have proxy packages in Proxy channel and since we
wanted to created command line installer (CLI) for proxy and only
possible way to make proxy channel available from command line is
rhn-proxy-activate and since this command is in Proxy channel ... you
are busted.
So I have to cut this circle somewhere and I decided to move
rhn-proxy-activate to separate package (in spacewalk
spacewalk-proxy-installer) and it is available in RHN Tools channel.
So if you install spacewalk-proxy-installer you will only install
packages needed for installer run.
When you run configure-proxy.sh it will then activate you as Proxy
(which enable you Proxy channel in Satellite) and it will then install
spacewalk-proxy-management (which is proxy itself) and it will then
install require and install all the packages you mentioned.
And before you start - yes we can make it easier for spacewalk, but it
can not be done easier for Satellite.
