Bug Fixes

BZ#966936
Previously, the subscription-manager package depended on a version of the python-rhsm package that was not included in the previous version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. As a consequence, the installation terminated with the following error:
Error: No module named rhsm.config
With this release, the python-rhsm package has been added to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and dependencies are resolved successfully when installing the subscription-manager package.
BZ#988476
Previously, the user was allowed to set and remove parameters in all three sections of the rhsm.conf file even though the parameters are only used in one section. This confused the user and hindered them from setting the right parameters. This update removes the unnecessary configuration in the subscription-manager configuration module.
Users of python-rhsm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
