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 Jan Stavel 2018-12-06 11:18:25 UTC 
Description of problem:

I cannot unset a role property.
The application asks me to repeat the command.
Once I repeat it the application asks me to do so again.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

root@ibm-p9z-15-lp9 ~]# subscription-manager config | grep rhsm
   hostname = subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com
[rhsm]
   ca_cert_dir = [/etc/rhsm/ca/]
   pluginconfdir = [/etc/rhsm/pluginconf.d]
   plugindir = [/usr/share/rhsm-plugins]
   repo_ca_cert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem


[root@ibm-p9z-15-lp9 ~]# rpm -qa | egrep "subscription|rhsm|cockpit"
dnf-plugin-subscription-manager-1.23.8-4.el8.ppc64le
subscription-manager-1.23.8-4.el8.ppc64le
subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates-1.23.8-4.el8.ppc64le
librhsm-0.0.3-2.el8.ppc64le
python3-subscription-manager-rhsm-1.23.8-4.el8.ppc64le


How reproducible:


   [root@ibm-p9z-15-lp9 ~]# subscription-manager role 
   
   You are attempting to use a locale that is not installed.
   Current Role: RHEL Server

   [root@ibm-p9z-15-lp9 ~]# subscription-manager role --unset
   
   You are attempting to use a locale that is not installed.
   Due to a conflicting change made at the server the role has not been set.
   If you'd like to overwrite the server side change please run: subscription-manager role --unset

   [root@ibm-p9z-15-lp9 ~]# subscription-manager role --unset
   
   You are attempting to use a locale that is not installed.
   Due to a conflicting change made at the server the role has not been set.
   If you'd like to overwrite the server side change please run: subscription-manager role --unset


Actual results:

The application tells me to repeat the previous command - again and again.

Expected results:

Once I repeat the command a role should be cleaned.

I am trying to simulate this issue.
I'll let you all know once I simulate this issue.

Tested this against subscription-manager-1.23.8-6.el8:

[root@unused ~]# subscription-manager config | grep hostname
   hostname = subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com
[root@unused ~]# reg
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
The system has been registered with ID: 0dba7f6d-3567-49fe-bca7-f905817e9180
The registered system name is: unused
Installed Product Current Status:
Product Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64 High Touch Beta
Status:       Subscribed

[root@unused ~]# subscription-manager role --set "RHEL Server"
Due to a conflicting change made at the server the role has not been set.
If you'd like to overwrite the server side change please run: subscription-manager role --set RHEL Server
[root@unused ~]# subscription-manager role --set "RHEL Server"
role set to "RHEL Server".

[root@unused ~]# syspurpose show

  "service_level_agreement": "",
  "usage": "",
  "role": "RHEL Server",
  "addons": []

[root@unused ~]# subscription-manager role --unset
role unset.

==================

Can be unset successfully now.
