Description Chris Duryee 2011-11-29 21:33:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

Running install-num-migrate-to-rhsm on a system without an install number produces a traceback:

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# install-num-migrate-to-rhsm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/install-num-migrate-to-rhsm", line 59, in ?
    f = open('/etc/sysconfig/rhn/install-num', 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/sysconfig/rhn/install-num'

It should display a more user-friendly message and quit with a nonzero exit code.

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

subscription-manager-migration-0.98.3-1.el5


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a system without using an instnum, or delete /etc/sysconfig/rhn/install-num
2. run install-num-migrate-to-rhsm
