Description of problem: In case of timeout from Hosted when activating Satellite, misleading error message "There was a problem validating the satellite certificate: 89" is printed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-setup-2.0.1-7.el5sat How reproducible: usually when you get timeout from Hosted Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install connected satellite and get timeout from hosted when activating it Actual results: [...] * Activating Red Hat Satellite. ** Loading Red Hat Satellite Certificate. ** Verifying certificate locally. ** Activating Red Hat Satellite. There was a problem validating the satellite certificate: 89 In rhn_installation.log there is: [...] RHN_PARENT: satellite.rhn.redhat.com ERROR: Timeout Exception Expected results: Error should express that this was timeout. Additional info: In spacewalk/setup/bin/spacewalk-setup there is: my %retcodes = ( 10 => 'Could not parse certificate file', [...] 86 => "$product_name has no base channel on parent server", 87 => "No $product_name channel available for this version", 127 => 'Unhandled error', ); if ($ret) { my $exit_value = $? >> 8; die "(satellite_activation_failed) $retcodes{$exit_value}\n\n" if exists $retcodes{$exit_value}; die "There was a problem validating the satellite certificate: $exit_value\n\n"; } In backend/satellite_tools/rhn-satellite-activate we basically just call rhn_satellite_activate.py. In backend/satellite_tools/rhn_satellite_activate.py there is: except TimeoutException, e: writeError(e) return 89 I do not consider this important for 5.6.0 release.
