[rhn-users] rhn_check fails

[Sean Keesler]

I have just installed RHEL4 ES (Academic license) on a Athlon server.  
I tried to minimize the # of installed packages to only what I needed 
but found that the installation installed a lot of items I didn't need. 
  I attempted to use rhn to delete the packages from this box.  I 
selected the packages I wanted to remove and it sat the in queue to be 
deleted.

I manually ran rhn_check with the verbose option and the box did get 
the transaction.  However the verbose output produces a python 
trackback  that ultimately points to the runTransaction function.

[root at syru102-252 ~]# rhn_check -v
packages.remove ([['bluez-bluefw', '1.0', '6', ''], ['bluez-hcidump', 
'1.11', '1', ''], ['bluez-libs', '2.10', '2', ''], ['bluez-utils', 
'2.10', '2.1', '']],)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/sbin/rhn_check", line 174, in run_action
     (status, message, data) = do_call(method, params)
   File "/usr/sbin/rhn_check", line 91, in do_call
     retval = apply(method, params)

     runTransaction(ts,rpmCallback)
TypeError: runTransaction() takes at least 4 arguments (2 given)

has anyone else had this issue crop up?
