Description of problem:
RPMs can not be removed from a machine via a scheduled action from the
RHN service.  Looks like an error in up2date.

rhn_check -vvv produces a stack trace (see below).

I tried scheduling both 1 and 2 pkgs at the same time for deletion.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.3.19-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Schedule a package to be removed from RHN
2. sudo /usr/sbin/rhn_check -vvv



Actual Results:  Python traceback:

D: do_call packages.remove ([['xsnow', '1.42', '14']],)
D: Called remove_packages [['xsnow', '1.42', '14']]
Traceback (most recent call last):

    retval = apply(method, params)

D: do_call packages.checkNeedUpdate ('rhnsd=1',)
D: local action status:  (0, 'rpm database not modified since last

Expected Results:  The package should have been removed.

Additional info:

Sure enough, the function runTransaction defined in
/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2date.py has 4 required arguments:

def runTransaction(ts, added, removed, rpmCallback, transdir=None,
rollbacktrans=1):

But on line 971 is called with only 2:

runTransaction(ts,rpmCallback)
