[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk throwing XmlRpcException calling cobbler

[Josh Fiske]

So I have gotten past my initial cobbler problem on install and have
managed to get spacewalk started.  I'm able to login in to the web
interface and start poking around.  But I find myself inundated with
emails like this:

 

java.lang.RuntimeException: XmlRpcException calling cobbler.

This would appear to be related to this bug:  
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488137

 

Any pointers on how I might be able to take the proposed fix and apply
it to my installation?  Is this a critical error, or can I proceed with
the setup process for Spacewalk while ignoring these exceptions?

 

Thanks!

 

Josh
