[et-mgmt-tools] rhn/local repo name mismatch error preventing cobblerd from starting

[Tom Georgoulias]

I upgraded from cobbler 0.6.3-2 to 0.8.1-1 this afternoon and got the 
following error during the cobblerd restart:

[root at radm011p ~]# rpm -Uvh cobbler-0.8.1-1.noarch.rpm

If I rename the repo in this file to match the rhn mirror name:

[root at radm011p cobbler]# cat /var/lib/cobbler/repos
---
-
     arch: ''
     createrepo_flags: -c cache
     depth: 2
     keep_updated: True
     mirror: 'rhn://rhel-i386-server-5'
     name: rhel5-i386-updates
     parent: ''
     rpm_list: ''


I get this when I start cobbler:

[root at radm011p cobbler]# service cobblerd start

Is this the best way to solve this problem (updating all references to 
the previous repo name), or is there a smarter way to fix this?

Thanks,
Tom
