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 Rehana 2021-11-12 15:24:41 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2015173 +++

Description of problem:
Every time subscription-manager is being updated in AWS, the following error message is printed:

chmod: cannot access '/etc/pki/entitlement/*.pem': No such file or directory

The message itself is correct - there's no PEM file on RHEL VMs in AWS. These VMs consume content from RHUI and don't need sub-man at all, unless you decide to subscribe the system and make it use repos available to your account instead of RHUI. I guess this also applies to other cloud providers that use RHUI.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.28.13-4.el8_4.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch a RHEL 8 VM in AWS.
2. Update subscription-manager (or everything).

Actual results:
The aforementioned raw error message from chmod. I know it's not fatal, but it caught my attention unnecessarily.

Expected results:
Silence? Like, only run chmod if there's a PEM file in the entitlement dir, or mute chmod. I'd prefer the former.
