Description of problem:

UnicodeWarning while trying to run katello-package-upload.

Error:

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rhsm/profile.py:68: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

How reproducible:

1. Get the file  "/var/lib/rpm/Packages" from the customer and restored in my 

test system.

Comment 3 Kevin Howell 2019-01-09 16:43:16 UTC

This behavior comes from the subscription-manager or python-rhsm package, and thus is a dupe of either bug 1569909 (or bug 1639086 on RHEL7).
