[Spacewalk-list] coreutils don't update properly via spacewalk

[Andy Ingham]

Jan --

These are CentOS 6.4 servers (upgraded from 6.3 within the last few weeks)
& they only had a few packages that needed updating today, chief among
them the "coreutils" and "coreutils-libs" packages.

Spacewalk server is at version 1.8


rhn-client-tools is 1.8.26-1.el6 (systematically updated across the plant
right after the spacewalk server upgrade)


I'm scheduling updates via the Spacewalk GUI, and they fail with (the ever
present) "Fatal error in Python code occurred [[6]]".

As I say, once I update the coreutils and coreutils-libs packages
manually, GUI-initiated updates generally run fine.

Can you be more specific about the exact OS you're using, Spacewalk
server version, RHN client tools version, as well as the exact
commands you run and the output you get?
