After copying the new file it's still crashing with the same error.  I
noticed the directory

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools

Has similar files -

reposync.py:                 ASCII English text
reposync.py.broken.reposync: ASCII English text
reposync.pyc:                python 2.4 byte-compiled
reposync.pyo:                python 2.4 byte-compiled

I'm not a programmer so not sure what's goes on with python scripts.
Moved reposync.pyc and it got recreated.  Does the same happen with
reposync.pyo ?
