What version of RHEL 6 was this tested on and which RHEL 6 repositories were enabled?
Evgeni added a fix for this in the PR added as an external tracker.
This issue is caused by missing python-argparse package, can install it by manual, but it's more better if virt-who spec file can add "Requires" for this package.
I used released RHEL6 to do the test. Thanks.
verified it, python-argparse is required for virt-who already, # rpm -qp --requires virt-who-0.20.4-1.el6sat.noarch.rpm /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh /usr/bin/python chkconfig chkconfig config(virt-who) = 0.20.4-1.el6sat initscripts libvirt-python m2crypto python(abi) = 2.6 python-argparse python-requests python-rhsm >= 1.10.10 python-setuptools python-suds rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
