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.

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:
When you uninstall subscription manager after using it, it leaves behind the redhat.repo file which is no longer being maintained by subscription manager.  This could cause yum to break by the fact it is still pointing to repos that may or may not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-0.96.1-1.git.264.7cc914b.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install subscription manager.
2. Use it so that your /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo file is populated with repos
3. rpm -e subscription-manager
4. Install something else with yum.
  
Actual results:
Yum cannot run because redhat.repo is pointing to repos that don't work anymore.

Expected results:
the redhat.repo file is cleaned during the uninstall of subscription-manager.

Additional info:
This repoduces well with the candlepin testing data.

The fix for this is simple, during uninstall subscription-manager renames the redhat.repo file to redhat.repo-bak which disables the repo without loosing its contents.  This effectively gets rid of these yum errors.
