[rhn-users] RHN TRACEBACK errors from a RHN proxy

[Rich Graves]

I'm getting these pretty regularly from our newly installed RHN Proxy. In
one case RHN has failed to identify an out-of-date package and in two cases
has failed to download.

I guess I will tell people to waste RedHat's bandwidth instead of using our
proxy for now.

Are other people seeing these?
