Description of problem: On some systems I have seen satellite-sync failing with "[Errno 22] Invalid argument" when syncing from dump on Fedora 17. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-backend-tools-1.8.82-1.fc17.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to sync from dump using satellite-sync Actual results: +++ sending log as an email +++ SYNC ERROR: unhandled exception occurred: (Check logs/email for potentially more detail) IOError(22, 'Invalid argument') [Errno 22] Invalid argument Expected results: Should work

This issue should be fixed in spacewalk master since commit c72371474ca4d874027babb7918ed496425cc98e Using fcntl.lockf should avoid any need for packing.
Marking bug as ON_QA since tonight's build of Spacewalk nightly is a release candidate for Spacewalk 1.9.
Spacewalk 1.9 has been released. https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/ReleaseNotes19
