Paul-Andre, Thanks for sticking with this! It was the Architecture that I had wrong. I appreciate your straightening me out on it. My first Ubuntu repo is populating now. I think I've got the first Ubuntu client machine configured for Spacewalk properly; it is registered and showing in Spacewalk. With fingers (and toes and eyes) crossed, I'll try doing a package update in a while, and will hopefully report success.

If they don't then you will need to delete and recreate them.
