Doc Text:	_python-rhsm-debuginfo_ installed causes an upgrade failure When the user tries to upgrade to RHEL 6.10 while having the _python-rhsm-debuginfo_ package installed, a transaction check error occurs due to a conflict with the _subscription-manager-debuginfo_ package. As a consequence, the system upgrade fails, as well as an attempt to install or update _subscription-manager-debuginfo_.

Comment 2 Kevin Howell 2018-05-24 14:11:50 UTC

Given workaround is fairly straightforward:
 yum remove python-rhsm-debuginfo
 yum install subscription-manager-debuginfo # (or yum update as appropriate)

we're prioritizing as medium.
