rhel6: rhn-setup-1.0.0-38.el6.noarch


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. `rhn-channel -u username -p password -c my-child-channel`

Actual results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn-channel", line 92, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn-channel", line 86, in main
    s = rhnserver.RhnServer()
NameError: global name 'rhnserver' is not defined

Expected results:
it should write smth like: "specify --add or --remove"


2. missing channel name after options -a and -r
`rhn-channel -u username -p password -a`
OR
`rhn-channel -u username -p password -r`

actual result:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn-channel", line 92, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn-channel", line 74, in main
    subscribeChannels(OPTIONS.channel, OPTIONS.user, OPTIONS.password)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnChannel.py", line 143, in subscribeChannels
    passwd)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnserver.py", line 50, in __call__
    return rpcServer.doCall(method, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 204, in doCall
    ret = method(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1096, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 38, in _request1
    ret = self._request(methodname, params)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 350, in _request
    request = self._req_body(params, methodname)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 231, in _req_body
    return xmlrpclib.dumps(params, methodname, encoding=self._encoding)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1029, in dumps
    data = m.dumps(params)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 603, in dumps
    dump(v, write)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 615, in __dump
    f(self, value, write)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 619, in dump_nil
    raise TypeError, "cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled"
TypeError: cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled

Expected results:
