3.

Comment 1 Šimon Lukašík 2010-11-18 10:59:37 UTC 
I use reproducer similar to this:

packageids = []
packages = client.channel.software.listAllPackages(key, CHANNEL)
for package in packages:
   packageids.append(package_get_id(package))
for erratum in client.channel.software.listErrata(key, CHANNEL):
   client.errata.delete(key, erratum['advisory_name'])
if len(packageids) > 0:
    client.channel.software.removePackages(key, CHANNEL, packageids)

Comment 6 Šimon Lukašík 2010-11-18 11:10:56 UTC 
Also note that right after the reproducer, when You are unable to 
delete this particular channel on webui and big red banner is shown:
"""
There are currently kickstart distributions associated to this channel. Please disassociate or delete the kickstart distributions before proceeding to delete the channel.
"""
