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 2020-05-26 19:21:06 UTC 
Description of problem:

I suspect that with the removal of rhsmd from RHEL-8.3 with Bug 1775714 / ENT-1959 , an upgraded system neglects to inform the dbus.service leaving behind a situation whereby the service continues to attempt to run rhsmd, but because  /usr/libexec/rhsmd has been removed, a traceback is thrown.  I believe this issue will happen when a RHEL-8.2 system is upgraded to RHEL8.3.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
Starting out with a RHEL8.2 system, I will show that subscription-manager registration is working and then upgrade subscription-manager and the demonstrate that registration will subsequently trace back...

Actual results:
Notice above that /usr/libexec/platform-python /usr/libexec/rhsmd is still running as pat of the dbus.service (prior to the upgrade)

Expected results:
I think that as part of the upgrade of subscription-manager, that /usr/libexec/rhsmd service should be killed as an immediate post-install task.


Additional info:
Comment 4 Jan Stavel 2020-07-02 16:26:48 UTC 
I have verified, that it works in version  - ie. no rhsmd dbus service anymore. 
And no traceback appears after I register a system.
