[Spacewalk-list] more Koan issues with Spacewalk 2.0

In case any one is interested I found part of the problem.
EPEL currently has Cobbler 2.4  and koan 2.4 I downgraded koan to 2.2
on a visualization host and now it I can create VM's
I still get one the first traceback.

- looking for Cobbler at http://spacewalk.host.name:443/cobbler_api
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/koan/utils.py", line 542, in

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1199, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1489, in __request

    return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock)

    p.feed(response)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 601, in feed
    self._parser.Parse(data, 0)
ExpatError: syntax error: line 1, column 49


It looks like we have the makings of a bug ticket here.
Also I think we need to re-examine the dependance on EPEL as much as I
agree with using stock packages this is not the first time a cobbler
update has cause spacewalk a problem.

I still haven't tracked down the Expat error however I have confirmed
that downgrading cobbler to 2.2 doesn't help, and the bug is still
present in the nightly build.
