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 of problem:
The man page and probably product documentation of the subscription-manager does not specify which is the default behaviour of the list option.
As the output of the --installed parameter is identical to using the list option without additional parameter, documenting this in the mentioned places would help unfamiliar users of the tool to get a better understanding of the output.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.21.10-3.el7_6
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. subscription-manager list > output1
2. subscription-manager list --installed > output2
3. diff output1 ouput2
Actual results:
man page (and documentation) does not specify the default behaviour of running the subscription-manager command with the list option
Expected results:
man page (and documentation) shows under the explanation for the --installed parameter of the list option, that this is the default behaviour
Additional info:
Finding and request by customer
old man page content for list --installed in man page
subscription management server: 2.7.5-1
subscription management rules: 5.37
subscription-manager: 1.24.13-1.el7
--installed
Lists products which are currently installed on the system which may (or may not) have subscriptions associated with them, as well as products with attached subscriptions which may (or may not) be installed.
Verifying on :
=============
subscription management server: 2.7.5-1
subscription management rules: 5.37
subscription-manager: 1.24.15-1.el7
# rpm -q subscription-manager --changelog | grep 1705017
- 1705017: Show in man page that --installed is the default for the list
--installed
Lists products which are currently installed on the system which may (or may not) have subscriptions associated with them, as well as products with attached subscriptions which may (or may not) be installed. (default)
Based on the above observations moving the bug to verified.
