traceback after package install when systemid file was removed

Description of problem:
I'm getting a traceback after the package installation on the system where I have removed /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file (so RHN is disabled on the system and package is taken from a local file:// yum repo). Traceback is simillar to the one in bug 444581.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.22-20.el5.noarch
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.4-10.el5.noarch
rhnlib-2.2.7-2.el5.noarch


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
2. # vim /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo   # configure some local repo with required package (you can use yumdownloader to get the packages there)
3. # mv /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid{,.BAK}
4. # rpm -e vsftpd
5. # yum -y install vsftpd


Actual results:
traceback


Expected results:
no traceback


Additional info:
Found during testing bug 444581.
Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2009-11-26 10:21:17 UTC 
In this case we print out message that RHN is disabled, but forgot to set up the variable and really disable.
Commited to spacewalk git as 16d247b4ca80fd07eb6d5139adcef44ef90d8542
and to svn as rev. 188952

# VERIFIED

Checked on RHEL 5.5 server/client versions:
RHEL5.5-[Server,Client]-20091227.0/

The package fixing the issue is:
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.4-15.el5.noarch.rpm (both for client & server)

Scenario done:
1. install yum-utils; createrepo
2. yumdownloader --destdir /tmp/yum.local/ --resolve vsftpd
3. createrepo /tmp/yum.local/
4. make a /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo with:
[local]
name=local
baseurl=file:///tmp/yum.local
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

refer to the scenario in the Reproducer for the rest (comment#1)

Result:
No more tracebacks, the package installation goes ok from local repo.
