The subscription-manager package's rhsmd produces warning of "DeprecationWarning: Call to deprecated function: hasNow"

Issue

  • The subscription-manager package's /usr/libexec/rhsmd utilizes deprecated function warning_range.hasNow() which results in a warning message when executed. This warning message is most commonly seen from the execution of the /etc/cron.daily/rhsmd cron job which results in an e-mail to root.
