The error reported here is due to intermittent timeout issues with RHN hosted. We will update the client to catch this exception and print an easier to understand error message. Example: "Server Unavailable. Please try later" This work will be proposed for RHEL 5.4.
Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: previously, yum-rhn-plugin did not allow for situations where the update agent sent a request to a Red Hat Network server, but received no response within its timeout interval. This would generate an unhandled exception that would crash the update agent. Now, if the update agent does not receive a timely response from an RHN server, it will present the user with an error message that says: "Server Unavailable. Please try later".
