Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

2. Run python3 bootstrap.py
python3 /root/bootstrap.py --login=admin --password=admin --server=hpe-magnycours-01.hpe2.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com --location='Default Location' --organization='Default Organization' --hostgroup=hg --activationkey=RH00069_key --add-domain --force

Actual results:

Expected results:
It should be successful to register by bootstrap.py
For example:
# python3 /root/bootstrap.py --login=admin --password=admin --server=intel-waimeabay-hedt-01.ml3.eng.bos.redhat.com --location='Default Location' --organization='Default Organization' --hostgroup=hg --activationkey=RH00069_key --add-domain --force

Comment 5 Claudio 2022-06-16 15:04:59 UTC 
Same issue (Red Hat Satellite 6.9.4 and RHEL9.0)

According to a comment found here (https://github.com/FabriceSalvaire/CodeReview/issues/48)

- "platform.dist" is deprecated since python version 2.6.
- "platform.linux_distribution" was the successor but is deprecated since Python 3.5 and removed in Python 3.8
This seem to be the successor: https://pypi.org/project/distro/

Kind Regards,
Claudio
Comment 6 Claudio 2022-06-16 15:08:14 UTC 
Moreover i see in Foreman GitHub this code block:

    try:
        # pylint:disable=deprecated-method
        RELEASE = platform.linux_distribution()[1]
    except AttributeError:
        try:
            # pylint:disable=deprecated-method,no-member
            RELEASE = platform.dist()[1]
        except AttributeError:
            RELEASE = release_from_etc()

In "release_from_etc()" function there' a note: "Used on systems with Python 3.8+ which doesn't provide that in the platform module anymore."

We need the backport for RedHat Satellite 6.9+ (possibly)
