Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated subscription-manager packages that fix three bugs are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The subscription-manager package provides programs and libraries to allow users
to manage subscriptions and yum repositories from the Red Hat Entitlement
platform.

This update fixes the following bug:

• On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, subscription management does not support
  software channels for 64-bit PowerPC architectures. Therefore, the
  "install-num-migrate-to-rhsm" utility did not work on these architectures, and
  users were not able to migrate their systems to the Certificate-based Red Hat
  Network (RHN). With this update, the "install-num-migrate-to-rhsm" utility has
  been modified to use the supported PowerPC product certificates instead. Systems
  installed on 64-bit PowerPC architectures can now be migrated properly from
  Classic RHN to Certificate-based RHN. (BZ#788661)
  
• Previously, the "rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm" utility did not correctly handle
  a situation when a Red Hat Network (RHN) software channel supported more than
  one product. Consequently, the utility installed superfluous product
  certificates when client systems were subscribed to particular RHN channels.
  This update corrects "rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm" so that only the proper
  product certificate is now installed under these circumstances.
  (BZ#788665)
  
• Previously, the "install-num-migrate-to-rhsm" utility did not work correctly
  for certain products. Consequently, the utility installed also a superfluous
  Desktop product certificate when the system was provided with an installation
  number for a Workstation product and vice versa. With this update,
  "install-num-migrate-to-rhsm" has been fixed and only the correct product
  certificate is now installed under these circumstances. (BZ#790437)
  

All users of subscription-manager are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
