Description of problem:
rhnreg_ks exits with 1 when rhn-virtualization-host package is installed and libvirtd is not running. In came situation, rhn-profile-sync exits with 0.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-virtualization-host-5.4.14-4.el5sat
rhn-client-tools-0.4.20-56.el5


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rhn-virtualization-host
2. # service libvirtd stop
3. # rhnreg_ks ...


Actual results:
# rhnreg_ks --force --username=<username> --password=<password>
libvir: Remote error : unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: No such file or directory
An error has occurred:
libvirt.libvirtError
See /var/log/up2date for more information
# echo $?
1
# rhn-profile-sync 
Updating package profile...
Updating hardware profile...
Updating virtualization profile...
libvir: Remote error : unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: No such file or directory
Warning: Could not retrieve virtualization information!
	libvirtd service needs to be running.
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
# echo $?
0


Expected results:
Exit code should be 0, as registration utility registered the system. Or maybe exit code of rhn-profile-sync should be 1.

There is also a side effect, that traceback appears in /var/log/up2date:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like this is not an issue with rhn-virtualization-host-5.4.14-8.el5sat.

Package rhn-virtualization-host-5.4.14-8.el5sat do *not* fix issue with rhn-profile-sync which still returns 0 even after it is unable to update virtualization profile.

After fixing this bug might be good idea to walk through our tests, search for 761489, and remove workarounds.

Confirmed that latest rhn-virtualization-host package makes rhnreg_ks exit with exit status 0 and that rhn-profile-sync still exits with exit status 0 even though it should not (see discussion in bug 714903).
