Comment 1 Vishal Gaikwad 2010-03-29 14:22:38 UTC

Here's what we have till now:

> /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(559)parse_file()
-> lineno = lineno + 1

(Pdb) print line
com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.DailySummary,\

(Pdb) n
> /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(560)parse_file()
-> try:

(Pdb)
> /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(561)parse_file()
-> (keys, values) = parse_line(line)

(Pdb)
ValueError: 'unpack list of wrong size'
> /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(561)parse_file()
-> (keys, values) = parse_line(line)

(Pdb) print line
com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.DailySummary,\

(Pdb) n
> /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(562)parse_file()
-> except:

(Pdb) n
> /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(563)parse_file()
-> raise ConfigParserError("Parse Error: <%s:%s>: '%s'" % (

(Pdb) n
ConfigParserError: <common.rhnConfig.ConfigParserError instance at 0xb7ae550c>
> /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(563)parse_file()
-> raise ConfigParserError("Parse Error: <%s:%s>: '%s'" % (

Basically, parse_line() is expected to return 'keys' and 'value' pairs and the distinction happens on the '=' character in the 'line' this fails if you have a continuation character '\' in the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file.

I'm still working on the patch, I think the way to handle this would be to parse /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file and check the existence of '\' and '\n' (new line) at the end of every line, if found then replace that with a space " ".

Should be fixed now in spacewalk master:
