Description of problem:
I have system connected to SW 1.6 through SW Proxy 1.6, all on IPv6 network. rhn-channel utility works (add, remove, list), only its "--available-channels" fails with traceback.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-setup-1.6.47-1.el5


How reproducible:
1 of 1


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # rhn-channel -u ... -p ... -L


Actual results:
Only "-L" fails:

# rhn-channel -u admin -p nimda -l
rhel-x86_64-server-5
# rhn-channel -u admin -p nimda -a -c rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5
# echo $?
0
# rhn-channel -u admin -p nimda -L
