I pulled down a backup of the version file from a few days ago and solved the issue:
root@io-ns-03:~> cat /etc/cobbler/version builddate: Tue Apr 22 15:30:11 2014 gitdate: '?' gitstamp: '?' version: 2.4.4 version_tuple: [2, 4, 4]
So like the 2.6 version file snuck into the 2.4.7 package?

The format of the version file changed in 2.6.x (it's now basically ini format using python ConfigParser)

Thanks for your reply, Alan.
I didn't do a find/xargs/grep for version_tuple! Drat, bad troubleshooting. But in any case, even converting that file to YAML doesn't seem to help, I just get more errors.
Another interesting thing, the format of /etc/cobbler/version in 2.6.3 is not in YAML either.
Whatever. This is only affecting the Web console, so I can stay in business while I stand up 2.6 on a new server and replicate.

So I upgraded the cobbler and cobbler-web yum packages from 2.4.4 to 2.4.7, in preparation for upgrading to 2.6 (this is a RedHat 5.6 system). Cobbler works fine from the command line, but I get an error when I attempt to login to the Web console. In /var/log/cobbler, I get this every time I access:

/etc/cobbler/version has incorrect format, it should be in YAML.. Example:
builddate: Thu Jan 30 21:42:10 2014 gitdate: Mon Dec 9 11:08:16 2013 -0800 gitstamp: 2181fa3 version: 2.5.0 version_tuple: [2, 5, 0]
It is possible you'll have conflicts with other files. I'd recommend backing up important data and making a a clean installation.
