Description Marius Vollmer 2019-06-12 11:36:59 UTC 
The code in subscription-manager/cockpit/ has two functions that compete for the same field of the client:

client.getSubscriptionStatus = function() {
    this.dfd = cockpit.defer();

    ...

    return this.dfd.promise();
};

client.getSyspurpose = function() {
    this.dfd = cockpit.defer();

    ....

    return this.dfd.promise();
};

If calls to these functions overlap (e.g., one of them is called while a previous call has not resolved its promise yet), they will use the wrong Deferred objects and some promises will never be resolved.
