How reproducible:
Some files always works, some files always broken

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rhncfg-manager add /etc/squid/squid.conf -c centos-6-squid


Actual results:
XML-RPC error while talking to https://spacewalk/CONFIG-MANAGEMENT-TOOL: cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled


Expected results:
Local file /etc/squid/squid.conf -> remote file /etc/squid/squid.conf


Additional info:

Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2014-12-04 13:43:02 UTC

I'm guessing that the problem is that files that do not have an SELinux context cause this exception. Can you check for me?

$ ls -Z /etc/squid/squid.conf

That is a known problem with the current rhncfg* packages that should be fixed in Spacewalk nightly. You can also try installing the newest rhncfg* packages from the Spacewalk nightly repo to see if that solves the problem.

Comment 2 Krzysztof Pawłowski 2014-12-04 15:04:17 UTC

-rw------- root root ?                                /etc/squid/squid.conf

We have SELinux disabled.

Comment 3 Stephen Herr 2014-12-04 16:51:40 UTC

In that case the fix is already committed to Spacewalk master:
