Description of problem: If the network info for a system (as read from spacewalk-report splice-export) contains a ';' character, sst will fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.46 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a system in sat 5.6 with a network interface like ";vdsmdummy;" 2. run spacewalk-splice-checkin --spacewalk-sync Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/spacewalk-splice-checkin", line 100, in <module> checkin.main(opts) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk_splice_tool/checkin.py", line 225, in main spacewalk_sync(options) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk_splice_tool/checkin.py", line 171, in spacewalk_sync consumers.extend(dt.transform_to_consumers(system_details)) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk_splice_tool/transforms.py", line 83, in transform_to_consumers facts_data = facts.translate_sw_facts_to_subsmgr(details) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk_splice_tool/facts.py", line 27, in translate_sw_facts_to_subsmgr facts.update(network_facts(system_details)) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk_splice_tool/facts.py", line 110, in network_facts (iface, addrmask, hwaddr) = n.split() ValueError: need more than 0 values to unpack Expected results: successful run Additional info: This might require a change to spacewalk-reports to escape the ';', and to spacewalk-splice-tool to handle escacped ';' chars.
Temporary workaround is to use Satellite API to list all systems[1] then find the system with a network interface[2] with ";" in its name, then change the name to remove the ";".
