[Spacewalk-list] TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'

[Bruce McAlister]

Hi All,

It appears that the repo packages for the nightly builds for the RHEL 5 
32/64-bit OS's are older than those that are in the 2.3-client 
directory. Is that normal?

I synced the 2.3 client for RHEL 5 and the packages were updated to the 
following versions:

rhncfg-5.10.83-1.el5
rhnsd-5.0.15-1.el5
rhn-client-tools-2.3.16-1.el5
rhncfg-client-5.10.83-1.el5
yum-rhn-plugin-2.3.3-1.el5
osad-5.11.57-1.el5
rhn-check-2.3.16-1.el5
rhnlib-2.5.75-1.el5
rhn-setup-2.3.16-1.el5
rhncfg-actions-5.10.83-1.el5

This version has fixed my error listed below.

Thanks
Bruce
