RHBA-2012:13347 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated subscription-manager packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The Subscription Manager tool allows users to understand the specific products which have been installed on their machines, and the specific subscriptions which their machines are consuming.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the Subscription list was blank in the Confirm Subscriptions page of Firstboot when LANG was set to ja_JP. This was because the rhn_review_gui screen and the rshm_confirm_subs screens had the same translated name in Japanese. This bug has been fixed and the Confirm Subscriptions page now correctly displays the Subscription list in the aforementioned case. (BZ#830267)
• When going back from the Subscription list in Firstboot, instead of being directed to the Entitlement Platform Registration page, the Set Up Software Updates page was displayed when LANG was set to ja_JP. This was because the rhn_review_gui screen and the rshm_confirm_subs screens had the same translated name in Japanese. This bug has been fixed and going back from the Subscription list page now works as expected in the scenario described. (BZ#830269)

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