Description Jan Stodola 2021-01-28 15:48:01 UTC

Description of problem:
/root/anaconda-ks.cfg created by anaconda on the installed system contains the "rhsm" and "syspurpose" commands from the original kickstart file even when the subscription module was not enabled by the anaconda config files.

It can also happen that some of the commands are present twice in the kickstart file generated by anaconda when the subscription module is enabled (it means the default RHEL installation without any anaconda config files).

Mentioning both cases, since it would be good to verify both of them when this bug is fixed.

Related bug 1913689.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-33.16.4.8-1.el8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. prepare a kickstart file with the rhsm and syspurpose commands set
1. run the installation with the subscription module disabled (use updates.img, see bug 1913689)
2. run the installation with the subscription module enabled (default RHEL installation)

Actual results:
1) rhsm and syspurpose commands present in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg even when the subscription module was disabled.
2) rhsm and/or syspurpose commands present twice in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg when the subscription module was enabled (default RHEL installation)

Expected results:
1) no rhsm and syspurpose commands in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg
2) rhsm and syspurpose commands in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg exactly once.
