Control: tags -1 -moreinfo -unreproducible

Hi,

This issue today happened to me too. I worked around it by calling rhnreg_ks with the command line flags --nohardware --norhnsd --novirtinfo --nopackages. Then removing --nopackages would trigger the error again.

Someone on the internet posted about registering Ubuntu and Debian servers with Spacewalk:
http://www.devops-blog.net/spacewalk/registering-ubuntu-and-debian-servers-with-spacewalk

In that blob post a bugfix is mentioned to address an exception similar to the one reported here:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 658, in dump_nil
raise TypeError, "cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled" <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled

The mentioned patch looks like this:

--- /usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py 2013-05-28 20:44:38.000000000 +0200
+++ new/xmlrpclib.py 2013-05-28 20:44:24.000000000 +0200

f(self, value, write)

def dump_nil (self, value, write):
- if not self.allow_none:
- raise TypeError, "cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled"
+# if not self.allow_none:
+# raise TypeError, "cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled"
 write("<value><nil/></value>")
 dispatch[NoneType] = dump_nil

Maybe this bug needs to get reassigned to the python2.7 package. The python2.7 package version installed on my system was: 2.7.3-6+deb7u2.

Best regards,
Micha
