Thanks for the help, but I have discovered that this issue:
Could not retrieve action item from server <RetryServer for spacewalk.xxx.lan/XMLRPC>
Error code: 1While running 'queue.get': caught
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'> : ipaddr() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
Is happening on all my systems now...
Thanks,
Justin Ames, RHCSA

Be aware: [This message came from outside of Spartanburg Regional Network]
I have updated the bug/enhancement request to see if it is possible to separate out the "Registration and server actions" into two sections of 1. download/install of rpms and 2. registration. Then with that being separated, allow the admin to enable/disable the download/install of rpms in the scripts section.
This would still allow support for older distributions or distributions that do not come with the rhn packages. This would also allow for distributions with newer/older packages to still function without the worry of "pune to puny" issues and allow admins the ability to specify a specific repo/channel in the kickstart AND the packages to install in the software section of the kickstart.
- Thanks and good luck

The registration issues, during kickstart and manual, are related... The registration failure is caused by the kickstart script, "Registration and server actions" as it does not do dependency checks when doing the following command:
rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional/pyOpenSSL* /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional/rhnlib* /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional/libxml2-python* /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional/libxml2*
I had the same exact problem (https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2015-November/msg00130.html) and the following scripts were the only way that I could figure it out.
Hope this helps...
- Thanks and good luck
Systems -> kickstart -> profile -> name -> Scripts ->
The following script needs to come BEFORE "Registration and server actions"
Script Name: FIX_REGISTRATION_BUG
Script Execution Time: Post Script
nochroot (YES, checked)
Template(YES, checked)
Script Contents: ( I created a snippet, because I use it in ALL of my kickstarts).
$SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/FIX_REGISTRATION_BUG')
Contents of snippet:
if [ -f /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm ]; then
mv -f /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm /mnt/sysimage/bin/origrpm
echo '#!/bin/bash' > /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo '#This script is to prevent newer versions of rhn, libxml, pyOpenSSL from being installed' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo '#Hack around https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1280167'>> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo '#The post nochroot script, will mv /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm to /mnt/sysimage/bin/origrpm and add the following to rpm' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo '#Then in the first post snippet, mv -f /bin/origrpm /bin/rpm.' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo ' ' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo 'if [[ "$@" =~ "Uvh" ]]; then' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo ' echo "Not installing \"$@\""' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo 'else' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo ' isLinux7=`grep "release 7" /etc/redhat-release`' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo ' if [[ "$@" =~ "--import" ]] && [[ -n "$isLinux7" ]]; then' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo ' /bin/rpmkeys "$@"' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo ' else' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo ' /bin/origrpm "$@"' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo ' fi' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
echo 'fi' >> /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
chmod 755 /mnt/sysimage/bin/rpm
which rpm
fi
The following script needs to come AFTER "Registration and server actions"
Script Name: RESTORE_RPM
Script Execution Time: Post Script
Template(YES, checked)
Script Contents: ( I created a snippet, because I use it in ALL of my kickstarts).
$SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/RESTORE_RPM')
Contents of snippet:
# https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1280167
# changing back from FIX_REGISTRATION_BUG Snippet
if [ -f /bin/origrpm ]; then
mv -f /bin/origrpm /bin/rpm
echo "moved rpm back"
fi

I am having issues with my kickstarted CentOS systems. First they do not register due to the change from pune to puny between the rhntools in the CentOS 7.3 base. Then when I do register them, I get:
Could not retrieve action item from server <RetryServer for spacewalk.grn.lan/XMLRPC>
Error code: 1While running 'queue.get': caught
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'> : ipaddr() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
After that I also get it when I run rhn_check.
Anyone have any ideas were to look to see what is happening?
Thanks,
Justin Ames, RHCSA
