[Spacewalk-list] rhnreg_ks on F15

[Sandro "red" Mathys]

Hi,

We tried to deploy a F15 system (with the latest from updates-testing)
from spacewalk 1.3 which works just fine (yay!) except for rhnreg_ks
(rhn-setup 1.4.15-1.fc14) which fails with the following traceback:

[Tue Apr 12 16:15:15 2011] up2date
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 213, in <module>
    cli.run()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhncli.py", line 74, in run
    sys.exit(self.main() or 0)
  File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 101, in main
    hardwareList = hardware.Hardware()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py", line 674, in Hardware
    allhw = get_devices()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware_gudev.py", line 45, in
get_devices
    'desc':     _get_device_desc(device),
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware_gudev.py", line 306, in
_get_device_desc
    (vendor_id, model_id) = device.get_property('product').split('/')[:2]
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

It seems that device.get_propery('product') returns None but does
somebody have an idea why it does so? On what information does this
rely? i.e. is there a service not running that should be or a package
missing?

Is the extracted information actually important? If not, the thrown
exception should rather be caught.

Thanks,
