    New Contents:
Cause: A bug in yum-rhn-plugin code.

Consequence: Package Manager would ask the user to re-register the system every time Package Manager is ran.

Fix: More careful command line arguments checking by yum-rhn-plugin.

Result: Package Manager now correctly recognizes a registered system.

Comment 9 Šimon Lukašík 2011-09-08 08:09:07 EDT

Changing to Verified:

Testing procedure:
 - pup tool does not require registration when machine already registered
 - the pup tool is able to refresh/fetch repository metadata
 - user is able to apply updates using the pup tool
 - desktop applet (puplet) pops-up, when the updates are available

Verified against:
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.4-22.el5_7.2
rhn-client-tools-0.4.20-56.el5
pirut-1.3.28-19.el5
