Affected package spacewalk-backend-1.2.13-46.el6sat.noarch. Steps to reproduce 1. create a custom channel 2. push a package there 3. export LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8 4. export LC_TIME=cs_CZ.UTF-8 5. rhn-satellite-exporter -c _the_channel_ -d /tmp/exp 6. satellite-sync -m /tmp/exp -l

I suggest you to file new BZ - or even better, to contact tech. support. Commenting on closed BZ will have likely zero impact.
Sorry, didn't see it was closed. I'll open up a new BZ.
