Comment 5 Claudio 2022-06-16 15:04:59 UTC 
Same issue (Red Hat Satellite 6.9.4 and RHEL9.0)

According to a comment found here (https://github.com/FabriceSalvaire/CodeReview/issues/48)

- "platform.dist" is deprecated since python version 2.6.
- "platform.linux_distribution" was the successor but is deprecated since Python 3.5 and removed in Python 3.8
This seem to be the successor: https://pypi.org/project/distro/

Kind Regards,
Claudio
Comment 6 Claudio 2022-06-16 15:08:14 UTC 
Moreover i see in Foreman GitHub this code block:

    try:
        # pylint:disable=deprecated-method
        RELEASE = platform.linux_distribution()[1]
    except AttributeError:
        try:
            # pylint:disable=deprecated-method,no-member
            RELEASE = platform.dist()[1]
        except AttributeError:
            RELEASE = release_from_etc()

In "release_from_etc()" function there' a note: "Used on systems with Python 3.8+ which doesn't provide that in the platform module anymore."

We need the backport for RedHat Satellite 6.9+ (possibly)
