Description John Sefler 2011-07-26 20:00:17 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently, the following subscription-manager list commands require that the consumer be registered...

# subscription-manager list
Error: You need to register this system by running `register` command before using this option.
# subscription-manager list --installed
Error: You need to register this system by running `register` command before using this option.
# subscription-manager list --consumed
Error: You need to register this system by running `register` command before using this option.

I believe this restriction should be lifted.
These are local client operations that should not need a connection to a candlepin server.  Remember that in the disconnected case, a client can import and consume an entitlement without ever being registered (from the client). Reference https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712978#c7 



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.96.4-1.git.63.7bb4765.el6.x86_64

Comment 1 Devan Goodwin 2011-08-02 17:13:39 UTC
Agreed, should be lifted for --installed and --consumed.
