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.

Actual results:

Expected results:

system.default_locale: fr_FR.ISO8859-1

Comment 2 John Sefler 2017-05-10 21:03:59 UTC
Additional info:

The behavior in comment 0 is a regression from the RHEL7.3 version of RHSM packages...
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# rpm -q python-rhsm subscription-manager
python-rhsm-1.17.9-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-1.17.15-1.el7.x86_64

[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# LANG=fr_FR subscription-manager register --serverurl=subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription

^^ Successful registration in RHEL7.3

Comment 3 John Sefler 2017-05-10 22:03:19 UTC
This also fails for ja_JP

[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# LANG=ja_JP subscription-manager register --serverurl=subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription

Comment 4 Kevin Howell 2017-05-11 14:24:25 UTC
Not specific to latin-1:

[root@centos7 ~]# LANG=ja_JP subscription-manager facts | grep locale
system.default_locale: ja_JP.eucJP

Comment 5 Kevin Howell 2017-05-15 19:39:08 UTC
I found that what was happening is that since bug 1450210 was causing the facts to be collected in a wrong locale, when we tried to build JSON, this caused the serialization to fail.
