rhnpush is blowing up on trying to push a number of java packages. Some files, like java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-1.2.b09.el5.x86_64.rpm fail 3 times, then rhnpush just quits. Other files will fail on the first or second try and then finally succeed. 99% of the rpms work on the first try without an issue. This sounds almost like a timeout issue, but the traceback is telling me it's a TypeError. The rest of the traceback is huge so here's the python portion. Any ideas on where to start looking?
