I think I found the issue.  Here's the patch I applied to get 
spacewalk-repo-sync working. It closes the files opened when they are no longer 
used.  This prevents the file-handle leakage.

Hi,

because I just upgraded from SW 2.4 to 2.7 I'm still using Steve Meier's 
"spacewalk-debian-sync" script to import Debian packages .I also tried to 
import Debian repos with spacewalk-repo-sync but that often had errors 
importing many packages. Someone then suggested, to use the script from Steve 
for the first, large import and then switch to SW default script. That should 
work, but I did not yet test it.

Robert
