712047 – yum prints non-error messages when running in quiet mode

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 Stodola 2011-06-09 11:10:24 UTC

Description of problem:
When running yum with '--quiet' option, there are messages printed on terminal:

[root@rtt6 ~]# yum -y --quiet install zsh

Installed products updated.
[root@rtt6 ~]# echo $?
0
[root@rtt6 ~]#

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.1 GA
yum-3.2.29-17.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install RHEL 6.1, default package set
2. configure yum repository:
[root@rtt6 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel.repo 
[rhel]
name=rhel
baseurl=http://<server_name>/released/RHEL-6/6.1/Server/s390x/os/
gpgcheck=0

[root@rtt6 ~]#

Expected results:
[root@rtt6 ~]# yum -y --quiet install zsh
[root@rtt6 ~]#

Comment 1 seth vidal 2011-06-09 13:16:31 UTC

this is either coming from the rhn plugin or the entitlement plugin.

Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2011-06-09 15:10:54 UTC

This is coming from subscription-manager

Comment 3 Chris Duryee 2011-08-11 16:49:04 UTC

fixed in 303423da4cb265649ab9dbd4c790c8aa2f628d0a, master 0.95.6+

Comment 5 John Sefler 2011-09-08 22:00:26 UTC

Although reported against RHEL61, I am verifying the fix is included in the subscription-manager package version that is targeted for release in RHEL62 as indicated by the errata in comment 4

[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager

Using the stage test environment and credentials for stage_test_2, I have registered a system and subscribed to (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server) and a pool (High-Availability (8 sockets)) for which I do not have a product cert (83.pem) installed...

^^^ Notice that product 83.pem was indeed installed, and...

^^^ VERIFIED THAT "duration: 602(ms)" and "installing: 83.pem" were indeed removed.  However, "Installed products updated." is still getting printed despite the --quiet option passed to yum.  THEREFORE moving back to NEW/FailedQA.


This defect is more than just removing the print statements from the subscription-manager/product-id plugins.  It's about these plugins acknowledging the yum --quiet option and then deciding when to print "Installed products updated." to stdout.

4a43f72 master 0.96.10+

Comment 7 Chris Duryee 2011-09-09 15:08:26 UTC

There were two issues for this bug. The first was that there were "print" statements in the code for the duration time, which weren't being handled via the yum logger. These were cleaned up in the first commit.

The second issue was that some calls were using conduit.error() for info messages instead of conduit.info(), so the --quiet option wasn't silencing what's essentially an informational message.

Comment 8 John Sefler 2011-09-10 02:27:08 UTC

Verifying Version...
[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.96.9-1.git.10.adab5e3.el6.x86_64
[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# rpm -q python-rhsm
python-rhsm-0.96.11-1.git.8.7061b8a.el6.noarch

First let's yum install without --quiet and look for the "Installed products updated." info message coming from the subscription-manager plugin.

[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# ls /etc/pki/product/
69.pem
[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# yum -y install zsh ricci

^^^ Yes -  "Installed products updated." was printed and the 83.pem product cert was installed for the high availability ricci package.

Now let try again with the --quiet option and verify that the info message coming from subscription-manager is suppressed... 


[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# yum -y remove zsh ricci --quiet
[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# rm -f /etc/pki/product/83.pem 
[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# ls /etc/pki/product/
69.pem
[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# yum -y install zsh ricci --quiet
[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# ls /etc/pki/product/
69.pem  83.pem
[root@jsefler-stage-6server ~]# 

^^^ VERIFIED - subscription-manager plugin now obeys the yum --quiet option and the product cert 83.pem was installed.
