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-2013:1659 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE subscription-manager and python-rhsm bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-20 21:53:10 UTC

Description John Sefler 2012-10-22 21:05:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
As a follow-up from bug 838264 while performing some negative proxy tests, the user gets uninformative stdout messages prior to a more useful "Network error, unable to connect to server." message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-rhel59 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager python-rhsm
subscription-manager-1.0.23-1.el5
python-rhsm-1.0.10-1.el5


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@jsefler-rhel59 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a90f8763a8926d3013a8928f09b044b --proxy=bad-proxy
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
Network error, unable to connect to server.
Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.

  
Actual results:
above

Expected results:
something more informative than "(-2, 'Name or service not known')"

Comment 4 Adrian Likins 2012-12-05 20:28:45 UTC 
I think this behaviour is ok. (I'd prefer even more detailed error messages and finer grained error handling though). 

But for now, I don't think this is a blocker, so moving to 6.5
