Hrm ok, it's trying to find a match by method name AND parameter
types. For some reason it can't find a match for one of the types. We
need to put
your client into debug mode so we can see the XML-RPC that it is sending to the
Spacewalk server.

If you are using Frontier::RPC then you can just turn on the debug flag when you
create the client:

   my $conn = new Frontier::Client(url => $host, debug => 1);

that will output the XML-RPC for the errata.create call. Then paste
the output to
http://pastie.org/ and send the link to the list.
