Created attachment 335663 [details] RHN TRACEBACK Description of problem: I have tried to sync all 6 basic RHEL-4-AS channels from webqa using /var/satellite mounted from dump-new.rhndev.redhat.com:/vol/rhndevqaV2 and after about 1 day of syncing I got traceback. I do not know what the traceback mean, so reporting to get some feedback - maybe it is some NOTABUG. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090313.0/x86_64 How reproducible: 1 of 1 attempt Steps to Reproduce: 1. # satellite-sync -c rhel-ppc-as-4 -c rhel-s390-as-4 -c rhel-s390x-as-4 -c rhel-x86_64-as-4 -c rhel-ia64-as-4 -c rhel-i386-as-4 Actual results: [...] 09:22:01 Downloading package metadata 09:22:05 Retrieving / parsing *relevant* package metadata: rhel-s390x-as-4 (6035) 09:22:05 * WARNING: this may be a slow process. ________________________________________ Downloading:######################Exception reported from pogo-cn1100-01.rhts.bos.redhat.com Time: Tue Mar 17 13:07:10 2009 Exception type satellite_tools.xmlSource.FatalParseException Exception Handler Information Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/satellite_tools/xmlSource.py", line 132, in process self.__parser.parse(self.__stream) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/expatreader.py", line 109, in parse xmlreader.IncrementalParser.parse(self, source) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/xmlreader.py", line 123, in parse self.feed(buffer) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/expatreader.py", line 220, in feed self._err_handler.fatalError(exc) File "/usr/share/rhn/satellite_tools/xmlSource.py", line 242, in fatalError raise FatalParseException(e._msg, e, e._locator) FatalParseException: :12213:483: not well-formed (invalid token) Expected results: sync works fine
This looks like a corrupted cache on webqa or the xml was half downloaded and connection was reset. Please clear you cache on the satellite and retry sync from webqa. If the problem persists reopen this and assign it to hosted to have the cache cleared.
