D: handle_action {'action': "<?xml version='1.0'?>\n<methodCall>\n<methodName>errata.update</methodName>\n<params>\n<param>\n<value><array><data>\n<value><int>704</int></value>\n</data></array></value>\n</param>\n</params>\n</methodCall>\n", 'version': 2, 'id': 163}
D: handle_action actionid = 163, version = 2

Please note that "None" which is strange.

It should work or provide better error message

I'm closing this as a duplicate of bug #853799 which has some customer
cases attached.

Comment 9 Stephen Herr 2013-05-02 17:45:43 UTC
I think that this is a duplicate of bug 853799, even given the different error messages. However I can't be sure because I can't reproduce. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, with the caveat that I think this won't happen anymore once we release a fix for bug 853799.
