As stated in the SL.releasenote,  redhat-config-packages is NOT supported 
and does not work.  Not sure it even works on RHEL. 

Use yum instead.

  yum list available
  
	List what packages are NOT installed but available.

  yum install <package name>

	Installs said package and dependencies if they are needed.
