[Spacewalk-list] AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'encode'

[Bruce McAlister]

Hi All,

I just updated 3 of my test CentOS 7 x64 systems to the "latest" package 
levels and I am now unable to perform any yum operations when the 
rhnplugin is enabled. I just wanted to check with the list if anyone 
else is experiencing this issue.

I am subscribed to the CentOS 7 spacewalk nightly client chennel, I'm 
guessing something may be amiss there. I am running spacewalk server 
version 2.5.

After running a "yum update", any subsequent yum operation with the 
rhnplugin enabled is aborted with the error listed below. Let me know if 
you need any further information to debug this further. Any 
tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
