[Pulp-list] Grinder problem when syncing from RHN

[Miljan Karadzic]

Hi,

We are using grinder to dump the content of the RHN and import it into our
Pulp server. We have valid Satellite subscription and a valid Satellite
certificate we are using for grinder. This worked very well until few days
ago when we started seeing following errors:

# grinder rhn -C /etc/grinder/grinder.yml --debug
[...]
grinder.RHNSync: INFO     1255 <rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-5>
packages are available, getting list of short metadata now.

grinder.yml has the following content:

url: http://satellite.rhn.redhat.com
cert: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/lhrsat04.xml
systemid: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
all: True
parallel: 20
verbose: False
removeold: False
num_old_pkgs_keep: 2
basepath: /var/lib/pulp/rhn
channels:
-    label: rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-5
     relpath: rhel/5/supplementary

grinder version is: grinder-0.0.147-1.el6.noarch

>From time to time we also get "502 Bad gateway", so this does seem like a
RHN problem. Does anyone know if there were any changes in RHN that could
break grinder? Or if there are some on-going issues in RHN that are
impacting grinder's functionality?

Thanks,
Miljan
