Description of problem:
pc/api channel.software.list_all_packages return package release as number.
so for example glibc-2.3.2-95.30 = glibc-2.3.2-95.3


following snippet of code demonstrates problem

import xmlrpclib
server = xmlrpclib.Server('https://my-rhn.example.com/rpc/api',None,None,1)
session = server.auth.login("admin","admin",100)

for pk in server.channel.software.list_all_packages(session, 'rhel-i386-es-3'):
    if pk['package_name'] == 'glibc':
           print pk

output looks like this
{'package_name': 'glibc', 'package_epoch': '', 'package_version': '2.3.2', 'package_release': 95.200000000000003, 'package_id': 1113, 'package_arch_name': 'i686'}

looking in the actual http response recieved from server it seems that wrong type(double) assigned to the package release in the raw response xml:

body: '>package_version</name><value><string>2.3.2</string></value></member>
</struct></value>\n<value><struct>
<member><name>package_epoch</name><value><string></string></value></member>
<member><name>package_name</name><value><string>glibc</string></value></member>
<member><name>package_id</name><value><i4>183</i4></value></member>
<member><name>package_arch_name</name><value><string>i686</string></value></member>
<member><name>package_release</name><value><double>95.3</double></value></member>
<member><name>package_version</name><value><string>2.3.2</string></value></member>
</struct></value>

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn satellite 3.7.1 RHEL4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
run in the python following script(replace url, username, passw with appropriate:
import xmlrpclib
server = xmlrpclib.Server('https://my-rhn.example.com/rpc/api',None,None,1)
session = server.auth.login("admin","admin",100)

for pk in server.channel.software.list_all_packages(session, 'rhel-i386-es-3'):
    if pk['package_name'] == 'glibc':
           print pk

Actual Results:  package realease is double

Expected Results:  package realease should be string
