for any one whos interested here is the workaround i found
I had to do several alterations to the database
"
spaceschema=# select id,channel_arch_id from rhnChannel where label
='sci-linux-6_2';
id | channel_arch_id
-----+-----------------
109 | 513
(1 row)
spaceschema=# insert into rhnDistChannelMap
(os,release,channel_arch_id,channel_id) VALUES
('sl-release','6.2','513','109');
spaceschema=# alter table rhnserverhistory drop constraint
"vn_rhnserverhistory_details";
"
oh by the way if any one is wondering the reason why im dropping the
constraint is if you don't it just breaks again latter with this error
because of an on the bug the workaround brought to light.
"
ERROR: new row for relation "rhnserverhistory" violates check
constraint "vn_rhnserverhistory_details"
STATEMENT:
insert into rhnServerHistory
(id,
server_id,
summary,
details)
values
(sequence_nextval('rhn_event_id_seq'),
1000010018,
E'Updated system release from 6.2 to 6.2',
E'')
