With that patch, I get this:

sentinel2:~# rhnreg_ks --activationkey=1-deb
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 33, in <module>
     from up2date_client import rhnreg
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnreg.py", line 21, in <module>
     import hardware
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py", line 31, in <module>
     import dmidecode
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/dmidecode.py", line 28, in <module>
     import libxml2
ImportError: No module named libxml2

Now, that I understand. There's just an unnamed dependency on 
python-libxml2. I installed that and then got this:

sentinel2:~# rhnreg_ks --activationkey=1-deb
An error has occurred:
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>

sentinel2:~# cat /var/log/up2date

     sys.exit(self.main() or 0)

     rhnreg.getCaps()

     s.capabilities.validate()
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnserver.py", line 67, in __call__
     raise up2dateErrors.SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError(), None, 
sys.exc_info()[2]
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateErrors.py", line 203, in 
__init__
     self.errmsg = self.value
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError' 
object has no attribute 'value'



If I specify --serverUrl things work fine. Above, I was trying to 
specify that URL in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date.



SO- use --serverUrl and install python-libxml2 and all is well! :D
