[Spacewalk-list] Problems with Spacewalk and Oracle Linux repo sync/updates

I fixed the traceback you're showing in

http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spacewalk.git/commit/?id=39088b67a5f28d5f0ecb8a2a2fc959db815f2098

although I'm not sure where this IntegrityError comes from.

Do you use the latest Spacewalk 1.8 client packages on the clients showing
this problem?
