Katello 2.2 Following katello directions to register content host leads to yum failed dependency

Support
1

Because of the current bug in 2.2 where you cannot save a subscription key
to a host group, I decided to manually register my hosts.

When I click on the 'Register Content Host' button under Content Hosts in
Katello it gives me some directions to follow. The first step is

rpm -Uvh
http://katello-sandbox-atdev-van.dev-globalrelay.net/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm

However, this gives a yum error:

[root@centos6client ~]# rpm -Uvh
http://katello.mydomain.net/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
subscription-manager is needed by
katello-ca-consumer-katello.mydomain.net-1.0-2.noarch

I also tried a manual yum localinstall of the package and got this :

[root@centos6client ~]# yum localinstall

    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

It seems like the katello-ca-consumer package has a dependency on
subscription manager. This is not located on fedora/centos standard 4gb
installation dvds, so installing it will always fail unless a repo that has
it is enabled.
Not sure what repo to enable to get this package.

I am grabbing it from

subscription-manager should be in the centos6 repos, are those not
enabled?

You might want to grab the latest ones anyway, as it has the latest &
greatest bug fixes that play nicely w/ Katello.
