[Spacewalk-list] Unable to sync Red Hat errata incorrect metadata

[Tony Dufour]

Dear Spacewalk users,

For weeks now I'm unable to sync Red Hat errata from RHSM, when I perform a reposync I have the following error:
ERROR: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'RHSA-2015:0087'

There is an open bug at Red Hat since it seems to be a formatting issue on their side:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1354496

But the bug has been opened for quite a month and still no solution.
So I'm wondering if a workaround is possible since I really need to get and apply errata on my servers.

As described on bug page, I'm able to find and modify the "corrupted" file, for example :
/var/cache/rhn/reposync/rhel-6-x86_64/c98304f7c9e142a93ff1ef2ef8b70a4ca06fdca3f71efc49bf7e3cdd57cec29c-updateinfo.xml.gz
Gunzip to XML > apply the sed command on bug page > gzip the XML back.

But when I have this modified file in /var/cache/reposync I don't know if there's a way to push the errata into my Spacewalk ?
Or maybe another workaround is possible ?

Any kind of idea or comment will be appreciated :)

Best Regards,

Tony
