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 Pete Harvey 2014-10-03 08:36:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

Use of the term "unregister" is bogus, it's not an English word. Suggest replacing with grammatically correct "deregister". 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.1.23-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe system using subscription-manager.
2. Attempt to remove subscription.

Actual results:
[root@rhelhost ~]# subscription-manager unregister
System has been un-registered.

Expected results:
[root@rhelhost ~]# subscription-manager deregister
System has been deregistered.

Comment 3 John Sefler 2015-02-05 20:41:09 UTC 
Here is the current list of all instances of "unregister" in the extracted msgids

[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.13.19-1.el7.x86_64

[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# msgunfmt --no-wrap /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/rhsm.mo | grep -i "unregister"
msgid "<b>Are you sure you want to unregister?</b>"
msgid "<b>Errors were encountered during unregister.</b>"
msgid "Preparing to unregister system from legacy server..."
msgid "System has been unregistered."
msgid "System successfully unregistered from legacy server."
msgid "The system with UUID %s has been unregistered"
msgid "To learn how to unregister from either service please consult this Knowledge Base Article: https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-45563"
msgid "Unable to unregister system from legacy server.  "
msgid "Unregister the system from the server"
msgid "Unregister this system from the Customer Portal or another subscription management service"
msgid "_Unregister"
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]#
Comment 4 John Sefler 2015-02-05 21:15:47 UTC 
"reregister" is not recognized by dictionary.com in the following msgids

[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# msgunfmt --no-wrap /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/rhsm.mo | grep -i "reregister"
msgid "System certificates corrupted. Please reregister."
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]#
Comment 5 John Sefler 2015-02-05 21:56:05 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# msgunfmt --no-wrap /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/rhsm.mo | grep -i "unregistration"
msgid "Did not receive a completed unregistration message from legacy server for system %s."


"unregistration" is not a word
Comment 6 John Sefler 2015-02-09 17:40:02 UTC 
If "unregister" is changed in subscription-manager, then the following msgid should also be fixed in candlepin...

[root@jsefler-os-candlepin po]# grep "unregister" keys.pot 
msgid "Cannot unregister {0} {1} because: {2}"
Comment 7 John Sefler 2015-02-09 17:46:12 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os-candlepin po]# grep "json" keys.pot 
msgid "Guest ID in json \"{0}\" does not match path guest ID \"{1}\""


"json" should probably be written as "JSON"
Comment 8 John Sefler 2015-02-09 17:47:36 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os-candlepin po]# grep "ActivationKey" keys.pot 
msgid "ActivationKey with id {0} could not be found."


"ActivationKey" should be "Activation Key"
Comment 9 John Sefler 2015-02-13 21:53:27 UTC 
If "unregister" is changed in subscription-manager, then the following lines should be changed in the man page for rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm...

[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# man rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm | grep -i "unregister"
              5. Unregister from Red Hat Network Classic.
       Preparing to unregister system from legacy server...
       System successfully unregistered from legacy server.
Comment 10 Adrian Likins 2015-04-21 13:35:04 UTC 
I poked "Red Hat Word Nerds"/#wordnerds about this, and they suggested staying with "unregister".


I also don't think it's worth changing even if it wasn't the preferred term.
