Looks to be just reporting the error message the server is sending back, so opening a bug against the server code. Keeping this bug open till the exception in the cli is handled correctly. Adding this to the RHN Update Agent for RHEL 3 U6 tracking bug - just to make sure we don't lose it while making sure it's really only server side. |
