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 of problem:
If User tries to delete non-existent Sub CAs with option --continue in ipa ca-del then, command produces misleading error message.


[root@server1 ~]# ipa ca-find SubCA_10 
-------------
0 CAs matched
-------------
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 0
----------------------------
[root@server1 ~]# ipa ca-find SubCA_9
-------------
0 CAs matched
-------------
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 0
----------------------------
[root@server1 ~]# ipa ca-del SubCA_9 SubCA_10 --continue
-------------
Deleted CA ""
-------------
  Failed to remove: SubCA_9, SubCA_10
[root@server1 ~]# echo $? 
0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.4.0-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa ca-del non_existent_ca_1 non_existent_ca_2 --continue

Actual results:
Error message produced as 'Deleted CA ""'

Expected results:
Rather than blank message error message should be 

'No Sub CA deleted' or
'0 CA deleted'

This behavior is common across whole IPA. Patch is welcome.

Upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6106

The output is expected behavior. It means that no CAs were deleted and displays the ones that failed. This is consistent with other, similar commands.
