Description Santi Saez 2009-02-10 10:45:54 UTC 
I get a "Internal Server Error" in Spacewalk when:

Systems -> Software -> List / Remove -> Select a package

If selected package is not in any channel Spacewalk reports a "Internal Server Error" error.

Full catalina.out is available at:

http://pastebin.com/f377cd03a

And Apache log at:

http://pastebin.com/f44fc6551 

Using Spacewalk 0.4 + CentOS 5.2:

# rpm -qa spacewalk centos-release
spacewalk-0.4.2-3.el5
centos-release-5-2.el5.centos

Clifford Perry adds more info in the Spacewalk list [1]:

"The issue is that you have packages installed on a client system which do not have packages uploaded on the Spacewalk system. So you go look at the systems package profile, click on to select a specific package - this performs a DB lookup for more details. Sounds like we did not make a proper lookup on if we know details or not - get a Null (or empty data) and this results within the ISE. Other than uploading the package, no short term solution, or stop doing that - please file the bug and hopefully we can get it fixed."

Comment 1 Jesus M. Rodriguez 2009-03-26 04:00:05 UTC 
fixed 9f17fb3f98a22685630be5b45ab3b32e9ae0720a

user taken to meaningful error pages instead of ISEs.
    Added a new Struts exception handler for NoSuchPackageException.
    Cleaned up PackageDetailsAction to handle errors and be better
    organized. PackageManager was not handling an empty DataResult which
    is a bad thing, now returns null which is handled by the caller.
    Added 2 negative tests for the changes made to PackageManager.
Comment 2 Jesus M. Rodriguez 2009-04-14 14:12:48 UTC 
Spacewalk 0.5 released.
Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2009-09-17 07:10:07 UTC 
Spacewalk 0.5 has been released for long time ago.
