Description of problem: I created kickstart profile by means of API. Then I can't remove it (in webUI or API). I got internal server error. This profile was created with following parameters: profileLabel - pstudeni-ks-1 virtualizationType - xenpv kickstartableTreeLabel - ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-6.4 kickstartHost - <hostname> rootPassword - <password>. Detail of kickstart profile in WebUI is incomplete. Page contains only two tabs (Details, Operating System) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-java-1.7.54-119.el6sat.noarch redhat-release-server-6Server-6.4.0.4.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Satellite 5.5 - always Steps to Reproduce: 0. sync basic channel with kickstart tree 1. create kickstart profile: python: client.kickstart.createProfile(key,'pstudeni-ks-1', 'xenpv' ,'ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-6.4', <hostname>, <password>) 2. delete this profile in webui or use API 3. I got "Internal Server Error" or xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -1: 'redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: unhandled internal exception: null'> Actual results: Error and profile wasn't removed Expected results: Complete profile in detail page, possibility remove it without traceback. Or API doesn't allow to create this profile - same behaviour as WebUI.

I tried this with Spacewalk nightly, it created invalid profile but I didn't have problems with removing it. It shouldn't be possible to create this kickstart tree - virtualization type combination, WebUI doesn't allow it. So I modified API to check compatibility same way as in WebUI. spacewalk master: 69ecc106938dafd5272ef8137a20f73c902f9249
