Description of problem: Satellite clone failed due to type error (old-style classes or derived from BaseException, not str)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use upstream satellite-clone master branch.
2. Update all the required configuration file to trigger the satellite-clone-playbook.yml job for restore.
3. while checking the satellite version in metadata file gets below error

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException, not str

Actual results:
Satellite version check failed due to a type error.

Expected results:
Satellite version check should be successful.

Additional info:

this is because satellite-clone does not support 6.8 yet, see this BZ and PR:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1896460

https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/satellite-clone/pull/379

going to close this out as a dupe of the above BZ as the PR above includes the support for the new puppet 6 version.

actually, it's because error handling in that function is broken -- I commented such in the PR ;)
