+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #674528 +++

Description of problem:
During sync from dump with --no-rpms option, I got traceback.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk-postgresql-1.3.3-1.el5
spacewalk-schema-1.3.18-1.el5


How reproducible:
1 of 1


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have empty Spacewalk
2. Sync custom channels with --no-rpms from dump
   # satellite-sync -m /tmp/mydump -c test-i386-1 --no-rpms


Actual results:
# satellite-sync -m /tmp/mydump -c test-i386-1 --no-rpms

SYNC ERROR: unhandled exception occurred:

(Check logs/email for potentially more detail)

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'


Expected results:
Should work as expected.


Additional info:
When I have removed "--no-rpms" option, sync worked as expected.

When I have then removed channel using spacewalk-remove-channel and tried again (both with and without "--no-rpms" option), sync worked.

Fixed in
commit 2905144fee9eaf79ad17c40767c652e836245614
    674528 - don't read signatures when there is no rpm (--no-rpms)
