Description Jeff Weiss 2012-02-09 17:43:52 UTC

Description of problem:
some rhsm commands get the information from the server (up to date), some rely on local data (which could be out of date), so one command's result is not consistent with another.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register a system to katello
2. Suscribe the system to a product in the katello UI
3. sm refresh (now subscribed)
4. Unsubscribe in the katello UI
5. sm list --available (sm goes to server and sees it's available now)
6. sm list --consumed (sm only looks locally, shows subscription still consumed)

Actual results:
conflicting data shown

Expected results:
sm should *always* ask the server unless otherwise specified (say, via a command line switch to use local data only).  It's way too easy to get into an inconsistent state.  The same thing can happen if you unregister the system from the server side, and there's probably other ways to get inconsistent data.  

It's true the daemon would eventually sync things up, but that isn't good enough - sm should always show the right data when it's requested.

Comment 8 William Poteat 2013-01-29 20:23:51 UTC

subscription-manager refresh should be called to re-sync to the Candlepin server. It is too expensive to update the certs every time list --consumed or list --installed is called.
