[Spacewalk-list] Troubles installing on Debian

[Simon Lukasik]

Re-sending the mail from private communication to mailing list.

There is a problem in Spacewalk 1.7 with non-yum (SuSE and Debian)
clients. It is caused by 9b28ded9de35b00d05457c877b8e8bb9d68a37de.

  -class SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError(RepoError):
  +class SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError(RepoError, Error):


'RepoError' and 'Error' has the same ancestor on non-yum systems. Which
obviously doesn't make a python happy.

Possible fix could be to duplicate code of

    Error.__getattr__

in

    SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError.__getattr__

but I don't know what others do think about such duplication.


Attached is a patch which workarounds the immediate problem for
alternative platforms. But It will fail anyway once the
SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError as reported in

https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2012-April/msg00127.html

Not nice.

No. Could you please try again another patch (attached)?

Please forgive me that I am using you as tester. I do no longer have
Debian machine. Disclaimer: Debian support is currently discontinued
because of lack of community interest.
