Description of problem: Spacewalk first configuration is broken with message: "** Loading Spacewalk Certificate. ** Verifying certificate locally. There was a problem validating the satellite certificate: 1" Tail of /var/log/rhn/rhn_installation.log.N "Unable to load module rhn_satellite_activate No module named stringutils" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): OS Centos 6.6; spacewalk 2.2-1 How reproducible: Run spacewalk-setup --skip-fqdn-test --disconnected --external-postgresql --answer-file=kick_walk Populating database ends sucessfully, but next hop - cert verifying - is broken. Tail of /var/log/rhn/rhn_installation.log.N "Unable to load module rhn_satellite_activate No module named stringutils" What is it module? Python module? Java moduly? Or else another? How can I fix this problem?
Problem was fixed. It cause was spacewalk-client installed on the host before spacewalk-server. And client version was older. Spacewalk client and server both have the spacewalk-backend-libs rpm in dependency; so, if client was installed before, server installation ignore this rpm. But content of client spacewalk-backend-libs much less then servers version. In particular there is no stringutils.py. So problem is fixed by installation of appropriate spacewalk-backend-libs rpm.
This BZ closed some time during 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7. Adding to 2.7 tracking bug.
