Description of problem: sosreport on RHEL6 calls "python /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py", which leads to crash (hidden, caught by abrt, but crashreport is usually immediately deleted with Corrupted or bad directory '/var/spool/abrt/pyhook-2013-07-09-11:40:06-27058', deleting see Bug 909617. Coliding name rpmUtils resolves to one in /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/ (that do not have submodule transaction) instead of the one in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rpmUtils/. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sos-2.2-38.el6.noarch rhn-client-tools-1.10.11-1.el6.noarch How reproducible: always deterministic Steps to Reproduce: 1. python /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py Actual results: Trace... > File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py", line 24, in <module> > import rhnserver > File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnserver.py", line 34, in <module> > import rpcServer > File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 12, in <module> > import clientCaps > File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/clientCaps.py", line 10, in <module> > from capabilities import parseCap > File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/capabilities.py", line 4, in <module> > import up2dateErrors > File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateErrors.py", line 44, in <module> > from yum.Errors import YumBaseError > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 52, in <module> > import config > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 40, in <module> > import rpmUtils.transaction > ImportError: No module named transaction Expected results: Info about hardware is printed.

Downgrading rhn-client-tools from 1.0.0.1-8 to 1.0.0.0-4 restores a working system
Putting the 1st element of the python search path to the end keeping content of search path, changing just the order for finding yum rpmUtils module instead of our one in the working directory (not a nice solution) spacewalk.git: 7a6914a28bb5ef2e7a721be91b81a94979dbdcfa
