Description Matt Reid 2012-04-13 15:00:43 UTC

Description of problem:
When a user types in subscription-manager unsubscribe --all, they don't see anything happen, they just get a new prompt line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.0.0-1.git.19.46c8d80

Actual results:
[user@system]# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
[user@system]#

Expected results:
[user@system]# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
Successfully unsubscribed from [however many] subscriptions.
[user@system]#

We should at the very least give a summary of how many subscriptions they just unsubscribed from by running that command. Might be even more useful to show the name of the subscription they just freed up, but that could be more than they care about. I think adding in the above general line is a good starting point.

Additional Information:
Does anyone have an opinion on if a system is only consuming 1 subscription, if they should be able to run subscription-manager unsubscribe without specifying a serial or --all and have it remove their only subscription? Seems a little silly to make them specify which when there's just one option, but I'm not sure how hard that would be implementation-wise.

This bug is a little tricky because it required both a Candlepin and subscription-manager change.

Committed to Candlepin (candlepin-0.6.2+) :

    812388: Return the number of entitlements removed or revoked.
    
    removeAllEntitlements and revokeAllEntitlements now return the
    number of entitlements they modified.

Committed to subscription-manager (subscription-manager-1.0.2+):
