Cloning for Satellite 5.8

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1401488 +++

Description of problem:

Errata are not imported so while there are many new updates available after a reposync they have no associated erratum

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

spacewalk-backend-tools-2.6.74-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:

100% by doing a sync

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade working 2.5 Spacewalk server to 2.6
2. Do a sync of repository with errata such as EPEL

Actual results:

From /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log
INFO   | jvm 1    | 2016/12/05 04:02:42 | 2016-12-05 04:02:41,943 [Thread-32261] ERROR com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.RepoSyncTask - 04:02:41 ERROR: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects
And no erratum for dec 2016

Expected results:

New errata available dated december 2016

Additional info:

Seen this on 2 servers, both otherwise succesfully upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6 (both running Scientific Linux 7.2 as OS)

I moved the str() in your patch into the fix_notice function - where the conversion to number is performed. Thank you.
