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).

Description Miroslav Vadkerti 2014-02-14 14:06:42 UTC 
The same issue is in subscription-manager-1.9.11-1.el6

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1065364 +++

Description of problem:
yum won't work with advisory strings that contain external respin suffix. Respin s sometimes also happen when errata had been already shipped and is live. I currently tested only with RHN classic.

For example on a RHEL6.5 machine I try to list updates for this errata:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0127.html

That has advisory name:
RHSA-2014:0127-2

# yum updateinfo list --advisory RHSA-2014:0127-2
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
Advisory "RHSA-2014:0127-2" not found applicable for this system
updateinfo list done

I have to remove the suffix to make it work:
# yum updateinfo list --advisory RHSA-2014:0127
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
RHSA-2014:0127 Moderate/Sec. librsvg2-2.26.0-6.el6_5.3.x86_64
updateinfo list done


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-utils-1.1.30-14.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL
2. Register to RHN
3. Try to list an existing advisory with suffix in the name

Actual results:
No advisory found

Expected results:
Advisory found as without suffix

Additional info:
I will try out with the subscription manager also ...

Does not work also if registered via subscription manager

From an email exchange with Miroslav Vadkerti

The reproducer in the bugzilla expects you have librsvg2-2.26.0-6.el6_5.2 installed.
So you may need to downgrade if you have a 6.5.z machine.

This functionality is not in subscription-manager. Will reassign to another area.
Comment 6 Eduard Benes 2014-12-15 12:02:16 UTC 
Hello, I'm reopening this bug in order to improve user experience and allow administrators to update their systems to a specific errata using the exact same "Advisory" ID as is listed on RHN Errata page (e.g. [1]), not only in a high-level overview page of available advisories [2] where advisories are listed without the respin suffix. Another possible improvement is to re-design RHN page, and all other places where the respin suffix is currently used, to ignore the respin suffix and avoid user confusion. 

Marking it as a FutureFeature / enhancement. If this RFE is really not a RHEL 6 material, I would like to propose it for RHEL 7 via the bug 1065380 and agree with closing this for RHEL 6. Thank you.

Comment 7 Valentina Mukhamedzhanova 2016-07-25 14:44:01 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 is entering the Production 2 phase of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.

This issue is tracked in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 in bug 1065380.
