[Spacewalk-list] Errata not synced anymore

[Morten Middelthon]

Hi,

the other host, prdrhelsync, is just running reposync and createrepo_c. On that server I have located the XML file containing updateinfo, in my case:

repodata/397ba6897f0627591714d5ade324ba110f6c4b5610a855a058733e7fda329ef6-updateinfo.xml.gz

I’ve extracted the file, and found the errata for 2014:1850, which points to an old update for virt-who. As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with the XML formatting. I’m guessing the error message I’m getting is generated by python (ERROR: invalid literal for int(): RHBA-2014:1850), when python expects a variable to be an INT, and instead gets a string, or something similar?

            <description>The virt-who package provides an agent that collects information about virtual
guests present in the system and reports them to the subscription manager.

This update fixes the following bug:

* Prior to this update, the virt-who agent failed to read the list of virtual
guests provided by the VDSM daemon. As a consequence, when in VDSM mode,
virt-who was not able to send updates about virtual guests to the Subscription
Asset Manager (SAM) and Red Hat Satellite. With this update, virt-who reads the
list of guests when in VDSM mode correctly, and reports to SAM and Satellite as
expected. (BZ#1158441)

Users of virt-who are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.</description>
            <solution>Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
