Description Miloslav Trmač 2012-11-20 17:55:03 UTC
Description of problem:
The package contains a symlink
> /usr/bin/subscription-manager -> /usr/bin/consolehelper
but it doesn't require the "usermode" package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.1.4-1.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum remove userhelper
2. Run "subscription-manager" as an unprivileged user
  
Actual results:
> Error: this command requires root access to execute

Expected results:
password prompt
