Issue

There is a daily cron job /etc/cron.daily/schema-upgrade-notif that calls /usr/bin/rhn-schema-version and compares it with the satellite-schema version. Unfortunately, when the database is down, /usr/bin/rhn-schema-version crashes with the following trace:

/usr/bin/rhn-schema-version

Traceback (most recent call last):
