Description of problem: After upgrading from hwdata-0.252-8.2.el7.x86_64 to hwdata-0.252-8.3.el7.x86_64 from the latest-RHEL-7 nightly compose, automated testing with rhnreg_ks fails to register to a satellite 5 server with the following Traceback...

Hence the traceback "'str' object does not support item assignment" is thrown. My hardware is an x86_64 KVM guest running RHEL73 Snapshot 5 compose. I suspect that a change from Bug 1292382 caused this regression.

Hello John, Thanks for investigation. It is caused by bad indentation of that item in usb.ids: ... 0e8d MediaTek Inc. 0003 MT6227 phone 0e8d 0003 M26 - BT Smart Watch for Android Phones 0004 MT6227 phone ... Fixing the indentation of that line fixes the issue (although the whole item seems suspicious to me). Just FI, this particular item [1] was changed on 2016-09-07 and yesterday's release of the upstream list ([2]) still contains this error. [1] https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/0e8d/0003/0e8d0003 [2] http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
Upstream database maintainer has just fixed (removed) that wrong database entry, see [1]. The usb.ids file at [2] should be updated in next twenty four hours. [1] https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/0e8d/0003/0e8d0003 [2] http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
