Description of problem:
From rhn-satellite:
Hi again and once again, thanks for the tips.
I have been experimenting with the script, and find that for our Lab Satellite
here we get the following traceback for certain channels:
Channel: Red Hat Desktop (v. 3 for x86) Label: rhel-i386-desktop-3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "repomd-precache.py", line 28, in ?
repo.get_repomd_file()
File "/usr/share/rhn/server/repomd/repository.py", line 326, in get_repomd_file
self.repository.get_updateinfo_xml_file(),
File "/usr/share/rhn/server/repomd/repository.py", line 106, in
get_updateinfo_xml_file
viewobj.write_updateinfo()
File "/usr/share/rhn/server/repomd/view.py", line 305, in write_updateinfo
self.fileobj.write('\n'.join(self._get_erratum(erratum)))
File "/usr/share/rhn/server/repomd/view.py", line 289, in _get_erratum
output.append(" <description>%s</description>"
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
520
How reproducible:
the bug is obvious
Steps to Reproduce:
1. sync some channel with errate which has some synopsis and empty description
(or reverse: some description and none synopsis)
2. regenerate repomd cache either by requesting data from it by client or
regenerate using rhnChannel.channel_info API call.
Actual results:
Traceback
Expected results:
Works as charm.
For Sayli:
Yes, you will need some RH channel with null description. It will be hard to get some. Since on hosted none with null description exist. So you will either create one yourself (dunno how) or you will find some old channel dump and import that.
Errata with null description was - for example - the 0day errata we used for release of Proxy 5.2.
But again, you have to get it from some old dump. Current errata on hosted is fixed.
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem
described in this bug report. This report is therefore being
closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information

if the solution does not work for you.
