I added epel5 x86_64 as a repository on a product on satellite 6.1
It synced ok some weeks ago.

since about 1 week, I am unable to sync it again. are metadata for this channel broken ?

for information: the epel5 x86_64.debug is still syncing ok on satellite.

Following is the error reported where I can see :

"errata"=>
         {"state"=>"FAILED",
          "error"=>"'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'"},
        "metadata"=>{"state"=>"FINISHED"}}},
