Is this an issue on RHEL7 as well?
Issue is reproducable on rhel7.6 as well [root@kvm-guest-04 rpm]# subscription-manager version server type: Red Hat Subscription Management subscription management server: 2.2.3-1 subscription management rules: 5.26 subscription-manager: 1.21.5-7.el7 [root@kvm-guest-04 rpm]# scp skallesh@10.3.112.16:/home/skallesh/Downloads/Packages Packages.cu skallesh@10.3.112.16's password: Packages 100% 54MB 566.9KB/s 01:38 [root@kvm-guest-04 rpm]# /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify Packages.cu BDB5105 Verification of Packages.cu succeeded.

Hi, We have reproduced the issue on RHEL 7 servers also. 1. Get the file "/var/lib/rpm/Packages" from the customer and restored in my test system. 2. Ran the command "katello-package-upload" it throwing mentioned waring message. Additional Info: "katello-package-upload --force" work without any warning message. Error: /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rhsm/profile.py:68: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal self.vendor == other.vendor: Regards, Prajeesh
