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 John Sefler 2018-05-09 20:28:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
As a result of the work done on RFE Bug 1439645 (subscription-manager commit f944da840d756baf904f92705b4ed0425c96f1b5), the original behavior of full_fresh_on_yum=1 has regressed.  See test steps below.

After registering, subscribing, creating a repo-override, deleting the local repo-override cache, and setting full_fresh_on_yum=1, the deleted repo-override cache fails to be re-fetched from candlepin by the subscription-manager yum plugin.

I suspect commit f944da840d756baf904f92705b4ed0425c96f1b5 for RFE Bug 1439645 was bad.  After reading https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1439645#c0, it sounds like RFE Bug 1439645 is asking that full_fresh_on_yum=1 also update the content sets assuming a change in the consumer object since server-side changes on environment stored on the consumer object.  I don't think that's what commit f944da840d756baf904f92705b4ed0425c96f1b5 implemented.
