RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Matej Kollar 2013-07-12 13:43:25 UTC 
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 rpmUtils.transaction
  > ImportError: No module named transaction

Expected results:

  Info about hardware is printed.

Comment 2 Olle Eriksson 2013-08-06 19:52:27 UTC 
Downgrading rhn-client-tools from  1.0.0.1-8 to 1.0.0.0-4 restores
a working system
Comment 4 Tomas Lestach 2013-08-14 08:11:45 UTC 
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)
