Can I ask - since the unregister, reregister workaround is cluebat, what are we to do when the subscription-manager refresh doesn't work as you state it does? We have systems - that I've just updated - but are not finding the new redhat.repo or the updates therein. Whereas the unregister, reregister workaround is shown to work, consistently. cheers L. ------ "The antidote to apocalypticism is *apocalyptic civics*. Apocalyptic civics is the insistence that we cannot ignore the truth, nor should we panic about it. It is a shared consciousness that our institutions have failed and our ecosystem is collapsing, yet we are still here — and we are creative agents who can shape our destinies. Apocalyptic civics is the conviction that the only way out is through, and the only way through is together.
