More info:

This is also affecting spacewalk-repo-sync, which also hangs on checksumming...

I also tried updating to nightly... Same problem...

I think the problem is somewhere in rhnpush/spacewalk-repo-sync..

If I use an old rhnpush (0.4.5-2.el6), then it works..

But the currently installed version (5.5.44-1.el6) doesn't....

Comment 2 Martin Juhl 2012-06-14 11:43:10 UTC

I have traced this problem down to:

/usr/share/rhn/rhnpush/rhnpush.py

If this file is replaced from the old version, it works...

There are not that many differences between the new and old file.. so i'll try to do some more investigation into this issue...

Any inputs??

Comment 3 Martin Juhl 2012-06-14 14:12:58 UTC

It's around line 450-550 in rhnpush.py....

Comment 4 Martin Juhl 2012-06-14 14:23:15 UTC

traced on...

it's this line:

res, h = _rpmts.hdrFromFdno(self, fd)


at /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/rpm/transaction.py line 147...

Can anyone tell me what this line does????

Comment 5 Martin Juhl 2012-06-21 09:26:51 UTC

I have now also tried upgrading to nightly builds, and the problem still remains....

Comment 6 Martin Juhl 2012-06-22 09:47:59 UTC

Apparently something was broken in the rhnpush database...

running:

rm -rf /var/cache/rhn/rhnpush-rpmdb

Fixed the problem....
