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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1696 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE python-rhsm bug fix update 2011-12-06 00:49:52 UTC

Description Michael Stead 2011-10-14 13:52:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
UEPConnection.updateConsumer(...) will not pass [] to the update request for either of facts, installed_products, or guest_uuids. If either are [], it is not added as a parameter of the POST request.

There are a couple of side effects here:

1) rhsmcertd - If an update occurs and there are no products installed (last update had > 1 products), an exception will be thrown.

2) virt-who - If virt-who attempts to update a host's guests, but there are none, an exception is thrown.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

RHSMCERTD
----------
1. Add a product cert to /etc/pki/product
2. sudo service rhsmcertd restart
3. Remove all products from /etc/pki/product
4. sudo service rhsmcertd restart
5. Check /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for error.

    updates = mgr.update(options.autoheal)

    updates += lib.update()
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/subscription_manager/certlib.py", line 62, in update
    return self._do_update()
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/subscription_manager/cache.py", line 58, in _do_update
    return mgr.update_check(self.uep, consumer_uuid)
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/subscription_manager/cache.py", line 166, in update_check
    raise Exception(_("Error updating system data, see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log "
Exception: Error updating system data, see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more details.


VIRT-WHO
1. Run virt-who on a host (registered with Candlepin) that has no guests.
2. An exception should occur.
  

Expected results:
1) Should be able to pass [] as any parameter for updateConsumer.

i.e: connection.updateConsumer(uuid, guest_uuids=[])

2) The above side effects should not occur (no exceptions).

^^ Disregard this assertion.  The candlepin API call to /consumers/09378ce2-479e-410e-9c09-16dda78483f8/guests is supposed to return the REGISTERED GUESTS and not just the GUESTS.  This was my misunderstanding of the candlepin API.
