Comment 3 Michael Mráka 2012-11-23 16:12:37 UTC

This issue should be fixed in spacewalk master since 
commit c72371474ca4d874027babb7918ed496425cc98e
    Using fcntl.lockf should avoid any need for packing.

Comment 4 Stephen Herr 2013-03-01 17:06:49 UTC

Marking bug as ON_QA since tonight's build of Spacewalk nightly is a release candidate for Spacewalk 1.9.

Comment 5 Stephen Herr 2013-03-06 18:34:11 UTC
