Comment 4 for bug 1495207

per Matthias

I tried to understand what the py scripts wanna do and it is the
problem that the /etc/system-image/channel.ini file is empty:

$ ls -l /etc/system-image/channel.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 2 11:33 /etc/system-image/channel.ini
$ ls -l /etc/system-image/
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1468 oct 29 2014 archive-master.tar.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 836 oct 29 2014 archive-master.tar.xz.asc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 2 11:33 channel.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 877 oct 27 2014 client.ini
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 sep 13 08:54 config.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4662 may 20 18:12 writable-paths

while on my working r25 it has some correct looking values and all other
files have the same size as above;
