Expected results:

rhn_check should complete without error.

Additional info:

There is a Syntax error in the SQL statement, line 39 of package.py in the directory /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/spacewalk/server/action.

_query_action_verify_packages = rhnSQL.Statement("""
  select distinct
           pn.name as name,
           pe.version as version,
           pe.release as release,
           pe.epoch as epoch,
           pa.label as arch
      from rhnActionPackage ap, /*** This comma is not valid ***/
 left join rhnPackageArch pa
        on ap.package_arch_id = pa.id,
           rhnPackageName pn,
           rhnPackageEVR pe
     where ap.action_id = :actionid
       and ap.evr_id = pe.id
       and ap.name_id = pn.id
""")

The comma(,) that appear at the end of from and before left causes the SQL statement to fail. Removing this comma resolves the problem.

Thanks.
