Comment 1 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2017-05-17 13:36:47 UTC

The issue is caused in line 164 of /usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py by log_error(extract_traceback()), try commenting out exception catching at the end of /usr/sbin/osa-dispatcher:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/osa-dispatcher", line 37, in <module>
    sys.exit(mod.main() or 0)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/osa_dispatcher.py", line 37, in main
    return Runner().main()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 164, in main
    log_error(extract_traceback())
  File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 1531, in extract_traceback
    traceback.print_exc(None, sio)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/traceback.py", line 233, in print_exc
    print_exception(etype, value, tb, limit, file)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/traceback.py", line 124, in print_exception
