RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Rehana 2013-11-15 13:02:36 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.8.33-1
subscription-manager: 1.10.7-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.10.6-1.el7

How reproducible:
3/3

Steps to Reproduce:
1.subscription-manager repo-override --add=test:enable
Error: You must specify a repository to modify
2.
[root@dhcp70-124 product]# subscription-manager repo-override --remove=test
Error: You must specify a repository to modify
3.

Actual results:
the help text for above mentioned commands are

  --remove=NAME         name of the override to remove (can be specified more
                        than once)
  --add=NAME:VALUE      name and value of the option to override separated by
                        a colon (can be specified more than once)

Expected results:
It will be good to mention the usage for the above commands along with the helptext
ex:
--remove=NAME         name of the override to remove (can be specified more
                        than once), used with --repo option
                        than once)
  --add=NAME:VALUE      name and value of the option to override separated by
                        a colon (can be specified more than once), used with 
                        --repo option
