Description Devan Goodwin 2009-01-27 15:17:20 UTC 
Deleting a single unpublished errata from it's details page causes a null pointer exception.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an errata: Errata -> Manage Errata -> create new erratum
2. After creation you'll be viewing the new errata's details page.
3. Click delete link in the top right hand corner.
  
Actual results:

Null pointer exception:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.redhat.rhn.frontend.action.errata.DeleteErratumAction.deleteErratum(DeleteErratumAction.java:9
5)



Additional info:

Caused by UnpublishedErrata.getChannels() returning null instead of an empty set.

This issue once affected deleting errata from the Unpublished Errata list, but this now follows another code path that does not trigger the bug.
