Related issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734965 Here's what's going on.
Here's the piece of code from pup, which decides whether it needs to run
rhn_register:
if not self.registered and len(self.repos.listEnabled()) == 0:
... # here we'll run rhn_register
self.registered is not interesting here.
Ordinarily (i.e. if you're registered), self.repos should be populated
with info about repos provided by RHN by yum-rhn-plugin.
The repo population magic happens in /usr/lib/yum-plugins/rhnplugin.py
in init_hook().
The problem here is that the init_hook() that went out in
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.4-22.el5_7.1 contains the following check before it
actually populates the repositories information:
if ('--help' in cmd_args or '--version' in cmd_args or cmd_args == []):
rhn_enabled = False
return
So:
1. You run pup (without any command line arguments)
2. init_hook() will bail in the above check, not populating the repos info
3. pup in turn will see we have no repos enabled and will ask you to
register w/ RHN

Description of problem: Opening the Package Updater GUI redirects user to the rhn_register GUI screen, even if registered correctly. The register screen then displays a warning that the machine is already registered. Running `yum update` from the command line works fine and is unaffected by this issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.4-22.el5_7.1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade yum-rhn-plugin from 0.5.4-22.el5 to 0.5.4-22.el5_7.1 2. Run Package Updater Actual results: RHN Registration process is started with warning that the machine is already registered Expected results: Package Updater displays out-of-date packages eligible for upgrade. Additional info: To work around this issue, you can downgrade the package to 0.5.4-22.el5 with the following command # yum downgrade yum-rhn-plugin However, the package update then prompts the user to upgrade this package again.
