[Spacewalk-list] RHEL 4 client management

[Pierre Casenove]

I tried that too... but with no luck: I ended up with all the client
rpm listed, but with no architecture for all packages (set to
undefined)

I didn't had the time to dug into this correctly, but I'm kind of
blind of this problem and I don't really know all the logic around:
- In spacewalk, for RH 4 clients, I do have almost all package listed,
with correct arch
- If I add a test to set the arch to none if it is empty I end up
having ALL package set to undefined arch

I try to better understand the issue, but if you have some clues, I'll
take them!

By the way, one question, When using log_error and log_debug functions
in python, where are the logs written to?
