[Spacewalk-list] I can now update CentOS

[Daryl Rose]

Previous questions were about the failure of updating CentOS from the
Spacewalk server.  I was getting the following error:

local action status: ((6,), 'Fatal error in Python code occurred', {})

I searched and searched and searched, posted questions and no one was able
to answer the question on what the error was, and how to resolve it.

The only reply that I received on this board was that this was a bug that
had been fixed in RH Satellite Server, but apparently not in Spacewalk.

Perhaps this is a known bug that was only fixed in RH Satellite and not
addressed in SW because I found other postings with the exact same issue.
These postings go back for over a year, so I know this has been an issue
for sometime.  Almost all of these posts have the same replies: execute a
yum clean all, update yum, etc...  I did all of that as well as did the
others in who have the same issue.  Stop/start the satellite server etc....

Finally, I found a posting by a guy who jumped through all of the hoops, as
had I, but finally found out that removing the "s" from the https://<sp-walk
server> in /usr/sysconfig/rhn/up2date resolved the issue.

I successfully updated my CentOS 6.5 server.

Thank you

Daryl
