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.

Description Adrian Likins 2012-03-23 19:43:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

<install fresh 6.3>
register subscription-manager
sudo yum localinstall <somelocalrpm>

THE INSTALLED PRODUCT CERT GETS DELETED[1]

Why? Because in that scenario, we have no
"active" repos (ie, repo's that are enabled
and have packages installed) or any 
"enabled" repo's (ie, enabled in yum repo config)

In this case, we end up deleting the installed
product cert (we try to delete product certs
that are not active)

Also, we do not log anywhere that a product
cert has been deleted.

I have a patch that seems to fix this, and it seems fairly straightforward (well, for being productid.py anyway).

    806457: Fix deletion of productids with yum localinstall
    
    If we encounted a scenario where no repo's were considered
    "enabled" and no "active" repos, we would delete the productid.
    A fresh install running a "yum localinstall" would trigger
    it, since no repo's have been enabled.
    
    Check to verify we are not in this scenario before deleting
    productid's.
    
    Also, add some logging describe which productids are being
    deleted. Previously we had no longer for this.

Before verifying a fixed subscription-manager, I want to demonstrate a failing subscription-manager....

Installed version of subscription-manager that fails:
