Description John Sefler 2013-06-10 18:00:57 UTC

Description of problem:
As part of the rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm script procedure all the RHN Channels that the classically registered system is consuming are gathered, and then the script uses the information in /usr/share/rhsm/product/RHEL-6/channel-cert-mapping.txt to copy the product certs that correspond to the consumed RHN Channels into the /etc/pki/product cert directory.

The problem is that there is also a /var/lib/rhsm/productid.js file that keeps track of of all the repos that have possibly provided the installed product certs.  This information is used by the yum product-id plugin to determine when the final package from an entitled repo has been removed.  If there are no longer any packages installed from the entitled repo then the product id is removed (applies to non rhel* repos) because the product is no longer considered to be installed.

The consequence of the current implementation (where rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm neglects to poulate /var/lib/rhsm/productid.js) is this:
 - once a package is yum installed on a system from a post migrated certificate based entitlement, the productid.js will get newly populated with a single entry for the new CDN channel that provides the installed product cert - (this is good, however)
 - then if the package is yum removed and the CDN repo name does not exactly match the classic RHN channel name, then the product-id plugin will think that it is the final installed package from the CDN repo and remove the product cert.

Bottom line: there is no acknowledgment of packages that were previously installed while consuming the classic RHN channel which means that product certs installed by rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm script could get prematurely removed by the product-id yum plugin during yum removal transactions which consuming certificate based entitlements.
