The message was: Error Class Code: 73 Error Class Info: Satellite or Proxy channel can not be subscribed. Additional info: --- Additional comment from sherr on 2012-08-17 13:56:23 EDT --- This is an incredibly easy thing to fix if we want to pull this into Sat 5.5. All we have to do is change a rhnFault(73) to rhnFault(73, explain=0). So there is virtually 0 risk of breaking something else if we're worried about regressions.
