Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-who-0.20.2-1.el6sat.noarch
subscription-manager-1.18.10-1.el6.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.18.7-1.el6_9.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In RHEL6 arch, install virt-who-0.20.2-1.el6sat.noarch package
2. Start virt-who service
# service virt-who start

Comment 1 Barnaby Court 2017-07-25 06:53:48 UTC
What version of RHEL 6 was this tested on and which RHEL 6 repositories were enabled?

Comment 2 Chris Snyder 2017-07-25 21:00:19 UTC
Evgeni added a fix for this in the PR added as an external tracker.

Comment 3 Eko 2017-07-26 01:53:39 UTC
This issue is caused by missing python-argparse package, can install it by manual, but it's more better if virt-who spec file can add "Requires" for this package.

Comment 5 Liushihui 2017-07-31 00:32:16 UTC
I used released RHEL6 to do the test. Thanks.

Comment 7 Eko 2017-10-17 03:17:43 UTC
verified it, python-argparse is required for virt-who already,

config(virt-who) = 0.20.4-1.el6sat
