up2date hangs

[Louis Laborde <llaborde cup hp com>]

On ia64, up2date hangs while displaying the progress dialog
"fetching obsoletes list for channel: rhel3-beta1-as-ia64-updates"
over the "packages flagged to be skipped" window and I get
the following errors on the terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 1271, in onChannelsPageNext
    self.pkgList = self.pList.getPackagesToInstall()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 344, in getPackagesToInstall
    result = self.__sortPackageList()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 329, in __sortPackageList
    result.sort(lambda a, b: cmp(a[0], b[0]))
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 329, in <lambda>
    result.sort(lambda a, b: cmp(a[0], b[0]))
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 1346, in onSkippedPagePrepare
    maxlength = max(map(lambda x: len(x[0][0]), self.skipPkgList)) * 8
ValueError: min() or max() arg is an empty sequence

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
