[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.9 config file diff messed up

[Gerald Vogt]

Hi!

I have recently updated from spacewalk 2.8 to 2.9 running on CentOS 6. 
Since the update config file diffs are in a very odd, unreadable format, 
e.g.:

--- /etc/sysctl.conf	Mon Apr  3 13:11:10 2017
+++ /etc/sysctl.conf	Fri Apr  5 18:35:53 2019
@@ -496,4 +496,48 @@
  \ n '+,+ +'+\+n+'+,+ 
+'+n+e+t+.+i+p+v+4+.+t+c+p+_+n+o+_+m+e+t+r+i+c+s+_+s+a+v+e+ +=+ +1+\+n+' ]

This is the result with rhncfg-client diff as well as the daily config 
diff task. Everything was fine before the update.

Any idea what goes wrong here and how to fix this?

Thanks,

Gerald
