Description of problem: Cannot install subscription-manager-1.8 onto a RHEL62 system due to dependency on rhn-setup-gnome >= 1.0.0-82 which is not satisfied until RHEL63. This causes a problem for the Sept 2013 pricing model release of subscription-manager-1.8 which is planned for RHEL62 EUS.

We have successfully upgraded a rhel62 system to python-rhsm/subscription-manager version 1.8 Discalimer: The success of this bug fix by relaxing the dependency on rhn-setup-gnome >= 1.0.0-82 is at the cost of re-introducing bug 810399 which has been deemed less severe than not being able to upgrade a rhel62 system to use subscription-manager-1.8.
