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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:1345 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE subscription-manager and python-rhsm bug fix and enhancement update 2015-07-20 17:59:53 UTC

Description John Sefler 2015-03-30 16:22:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
Automated test execution against subscription-manager-1.14.1 and subscription-manager-1.14.2 occasionally hits a dbus Traceback.

I suspect code originally written to satisfy RFE bug 884285 is causing these tracebacks.  In fact, the offending code was stripped from subscription-manager branched for release on rhel7.1 as described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=884285#c20.  I think we may want to strip it from subscription-manager master too.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.14.1
subscription-manager-1.14.2

How reproducible:
not easily

Steps to Reproduce:
Pasted from an test automation log...
ssh root.redhat.com subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
Stdout:
3 subscriptions removed at the server.
3 local certificates have been deleted.
Stderr:

Comment 2 John Sefler 2015-03-30 17:47:47 UTC 
Although a regression from rhel6.6, this is not a blocker for rhel6.7 because it occurs rarely and when it does occur, you can re-try and probably succeed.

Comment 4 Adrian Likins 2015-04-07 16:40:52 UTC 
I've seen this and variations of it in cases where subman wasn't installed from an rpm, and the "dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig" from the %post wasn't run. That might be an issue, depending on how the tests are setup.

I do suspect there is still some https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=884285 related wackiness we need to revert for 6.7.
Comment 5 John Sefler 2015-04-07 17:13:41 UTC 
QE always installs subscription-manager and python-rhsm onto RHEL from an rpm.

Comment 8 Devan Goodwin 2015-04-09 18:44:41 UTC 
We believe this will be fixed by reverting the dbus code that triggers events on compliance status changes.

subscription-manager.git: cf23450fc1d519a7d0e90611499047ce2e7c3334
Will appear in subscription-manager-1.15.3-1
