Description Martin Kolman 2021-04-08 13:44:51 UTC

Subscription Manager team created a fix for bug 1793501 so that the RHSM DBus API will correctly return ISO 8601 formatted date string instead of the previous human readable and locale dependent format.

Pr for Subscription Manager wit the fix:
https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/2551

As part of fixing the overall issue the Anaconda code that parses data strings coming from RHSM needs to be adjusted to parse ISO 8601 strings. The old code for parsing the human-readable strings will be kept for the time being as a backup in case an older version of RHSM is in use with version of Anaconda with ISO 8601 data parsing support.

There is a PR with the adjustment open for Anaconda upstream:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3279

Backport PR for the relevant RHEL branch will be attached in a follow-up Bugzilla comment.
