Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2014-12-11 19:35:06 UTC 
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Comment 4 Thom Carlin 2014-12-11 19:53:50 UTC 
manage.py:119:main:AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'critical'

connect() to /dev/log returns ENOENT No such file or directory
Comment 5 Thom Carlin 2014-12-11 20:08:46 UTC 
Thanks to help from developers in #pulp, /dev/log doesn't exist.  This is due to rsyslog not running.  The client is running syslog-ng instead.
Comment 6 Thom Carlin 2014-12-11 20:15:10 UTC 
Starting either rsyslog or syslog-ng creates /dev/log which got us past the Errno 2.

New error in separate case :-)
Comment 7 Stephen Benjamin 2015-02-25 09:09:13 UTC 
Is this still a bug or can we close this? Sounds like it works fine with syslog-ng, you just needed to start the service?
Comment 8 Thom Carlin 2015-02-25 10:23:01 UTC 
I would suggest it be reclassified as a doc bz/RFE: Satellite 6 (pulp) requires a syslog service to be running.
Comment 9 Stephen Benjamin 2016-07-29 13:18:57 UTC 
We could probably keep this against the installer and add a hook to check for this.
