Description of problem: If you are using a client that supports maintenance window and you try to re-provision the system, it will fail: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/rhn_check", line 330, in __run_action (status, message, data) = CheckCli.__do_call(method, params, kwargs) File "/usr/sbin/rhn_check", line 323, in __do_call retval = method(*params, **kwargs) exceptions.TypeError: initiate() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cache_only' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install latest rhn-client-tools from spacewalk (Do we have a build for satellite?, probably so) 2. Try to reprovision the machine through the UI. Actual results: doesn't work, get that error. Expected results: It re-provisions. Additional info: We need to spin a new version of spacewalk-koan to handle the cache_only argument.
