Doc Text:
The lack of _default_grabopts in older versions of yum rendered the RHUI client configuration RPMs incompatible with RHEL 5. This fix defines the default grabopts directly for an AttributeError exception. The client configuration RPMs are now compatible

Description Vitaly Kuznetsov 2013-04-15 15:36:51 UTC
Description of problem:
I was able to reproduce the issue, client configuration RPMs are not compatible with old RHEL5:

# yum check-update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhui-lb, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ?

Comment 1 Vitaly Kuznetsov 2013-04-16 07:57:53 UTC
The issue was introduced with commit d210171c (RHUI-2.1.1).

I've found the workaround for the same problem in spacewalk. They use the following:

        try:
            ugopts = self._default_grabopts()
            if "http_headers" in ugopts:
                del(ugopts["http_headers"])
        except AttributeError: # this method does not exist on RHEL5
            ugopts = { 'keepalive': self.keepalive,
                'bandwidth': self.bandwidth,
                'retry': self.retries,
                'throttle': self.throttle,
                'proxies': self.proxy_dict,
                'timeout': self.timeout,
            }
