Hello, I also ran into this issue - every execution of yum on the command line now results in this message. It seems to occur on systems subscribed to RHN Classic. To resolve this, I decided to simply migrate my machine to subscription-based RHN (there is a script called "rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm" for this purpose). In principle this worked fine - but two issues are still bothering me now:
1. In Subscription Manager, I was able to subscribe my system using the auto-subscribe button. The "My subscriptions" tab now lists the correct item (RHEL 6 desktop). But the "All available subscriptions" tab is empty, even if I disable all filtering options. Very strange, obviously a bug... 2. I have been using the "priorities" plugin for yum to handle third-party repositories. For RHN Classic I simply put the priority statements in the rhnplugin.conf file. But after the migration it seems to me there is NO possibility to assign the required high priority to the certificate-based redhat repositories. There is a redhat.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d, but my "priority=..." lines (which I entered manually) are silently removed by the system !!! Is anyone aware of a proper way to define those priorities for Redhat's certificate-based repos? If the priorities statements are missing for the redhat repos, they will default to the *lowest* priority, which is obviously not intended :-(( Very annoying...

That's another discussion, anyway... Since the 6.3 update, I am getting a daily cron email from each machine noting (even though I have -q set :) ): Unable to read consumer identity Anyway, searching around for this, I find this fun knowledge base article: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/ko/node/78153 The solution proposed only works for RHEL5, so be sure to read the last comment that says: RHEL 6 systems do not have a katello.conf file. Wouldn't it have been nice of Red Hat to say that, for RHEL 6 systems, edit the subscription-manager.conf file instead? So it looks like I need to modify each system I have and tweak that config file?!? daryl _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
