Bug 1223236

It don't exist on virt-who-0.12-7.el6.noarch

After occurred this problem, re-register system to Satellite, virt-who can't send host/guest mapping to Satellite although virt-who still run normally.

Is the virt-who configuration anyhow special? I'm not able to reproduce this bug at all.

Can you please install python-debuginfo and gdb packages on affected system, run following command and post the result here:

for p in $(pgrep -f virt-who); do gdb -ex py-bt --batch -p $p; done

Radek, it still exist on virt-who-0.12-8.el6.noarch. when unregister system, it still has the same problem. virt-who hasn't any specially configuration, just as the following:
VIRTWHO_BACKGROUND=1
VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1
VIRTWHO_INTERVAL=5

Check it as the following steps:
1 Register system to satellite and check virt-who's process
[root@hp-z220-05 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=admin --password=admin
The system has been registered with ID: 65fca01e-f909-4bf1-bd84-c54cccc84018 
[root@hp-z220-05 ~]# service virt-who status

[root@hp-z220-05 ~]# ps -ef|grep virt-who

[root@hp-z220-05 ~]# ps -ef|grep virt-who

[root@hp-z220-05 ~]# rpm -q virt-who
virt-who-0.12-8.el6.noarch

Result:
After unregister system, virt-who's subprocess 21553 still exist. virt-who still can't show ""Unable to read certificate, system is not registered or you are not root")".However, it will show some error as the following:

It hasn't this problem when virt-who against SAM1.4.1

virt-who-0.12-9.el6 contains couple of fixes that might also solve this issue. Could you please try that version of virt-who? Thanks.

It still exist on virt-who-0.12-9.el6, the phenomenon is the same as it on bug's description.please see the detail as the following:
