Description Šimon Lukašík 2011-10-07 10:07:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
The API documentation of call

    channel.software.mergePackages

promises to return 'path' field in package structure. However, the 'path'
is returned only, when rpm package is available on filesystem.

We may want to specify in the documentation that the fielf 'path' is optional,
like it is specified in other parts of documentation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk-java-1.2.39-101

How reproducible:
deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # satellite-sync -c rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6 --no-rpms
2. channel.software.mergePackages(key, rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6, my-channel)
3.

Additional info:
The API call channel.software.listPackagesWithoutChannel might be affected
as well.
