Here's what we have till now: > /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(559)parse_file() -> lineno = lineno + 1 (Pdb) print line com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.DailySummary,\ (Pdb) n > /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(560)parse_file() -> try: (Pdb) > /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(561)parse_file() -> (keys, values) = parse_line(line) (Pdb) ValueError: 'unpack list of wrong size' > /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(561)parse_file() -> (keys, values) = parse_line(line) (Pdb) print line com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.DailySummary,\ (Pdb) n > /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(562)parse_file() -> except: (Pdb) n > /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(563)parse_file() -> raise ConfigParserError("Parse Error: <%s:%s>: '%s'" % ( (Pdb) n ConfigParserError: <common.rhnConfig.ConfigParserError instance at 0xb7ae550c> > /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py(563)parse_file() -> raise ConfigParserError("Parse Error: <%s:%s>: '%s'" % ( Basically, parse_line() is expected to return 'keys' and 'value' pairs and the distinction happens on the '=' character in the 'line' this fails if you have a continuation character '\' in the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file. I'm still working on the patch, I think the way to handle this would be to parse /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file and check the existence of '\' and '\n' (new line) at the end of every line, if found then replace that with a space " ".
Should be fixed now in spacewalk master: 10bbbabc430fafa7ab94312baa31ede559796808
