Bug 1277623

I was able to reproduce this bug also on CentOS 7.1.1503 and Spacewalk 2.4

As workaround, I fixed it by downgrading python-debian package and locking the working version using yum-versionlock plugin

Confirmed on CentOS 7 as well. I was not able to downgrade python-debian from EPEL. I had to use an old version stored locally in my spacewalk EPEL repository. This will break all new installations of spacewalk as well as prevent people that don't have an older version of python-debian from downgrading.

Is there any schedule to fix this bug?
If no? How can I overcome this issue?

Previous version of python-debian from EPEL7

Previous version of python-debian from EPEL7. Verify GPG signature with the EPEL 7 public key before installing.

Install the package I attached to this bug report.

Another bug related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1278677

python-debian 0.1.27 requires python-six >= 1.4

It seems it should be fixed in RHEL 7.2

Hello,

I am still receiving this error message from my clients even though I downgraded the python-debian to the version listed:

rpm -qa python-debian
python-debian-0.1.21-10.el7.noarch


This error message happens when I try to register my system:

Any help would be appreciated.

affects spacewalk-repo-sync too

yum downgrade <old versin of python-six rpm> solved it for me

I also ran into this bug running CentOS 7.1.1503 and Spacewalk 2.4 and was able to successfully perform the rhnpush after downloading the rpm attached to the bug and install it using the following command: rpm -Uvh --oldpackard python-debian-0.1.21-10.el7.noarch.rpm Thanks for the temporary fix, hope to see this resolved soon!

Should be rpm -Uvh --oldpackage python-debian-0.1.21-10.el7.noarch.rpm

I saw this issue with both rhnreg_ks and rhnpush.

I have rhnpush working on one Centos7.2 server with python-debian-0.1.27-3.el7.noarch and python-six-1.9.0-2.el7.noarch, but not on another, so I don't believe that downgrading the python-debian package is the right solution to this problem.

I tried the patch suggested here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2015-November/msg00108.html

and that gave me a lot of output. At first I noticed it was using the wrong proxy information, but there was no indication where that proxy information was being drawn from. I deleted all the pyc/pyo files and tried again, passing the --proxy flag, but got the same error, with the correct proxy.

The output was

This issue can't be reproduced in current Spacewalk 2.9 version.
If you are still able to see it on your setup you are encouraged
to update the reproducer and reopen it.
