- Replaced some unsafe practice with default parameters. However looking at the code this does not seem to matter much as the calling functions always seem to supply these parameters anyway.
When subscribing a system with an activationkey, it seems (sometimes?)
required to pass the "--org <number>" parameter to subscription-manager.
Activation Keys can be created through the Red Hat Customer Portal, and
a subscription can be attached to those. This makes is easy to register
systems without passing username/passwords around.
The organisation ID can be retrieved by executing the following command
on a registered system (*not* the account number):
# subscription-manager identity

Prior to this commit, Ansible would pass '--activationkeys <value>' as a
literal string, which the remote server would interpret as a single
argument to subscription-manager.
This led to the following failure message when using an activation key:
subscription-manager: error: no such option: --activationkey "mykey"
Update the arguments so that the remote server will properly interpret
them as two separate values.
The ordering of disabling/enabling yum repositories matters, and
the yum module was mixing and matching the order. Specifically,
when yum-utils isn't installed, the codepath which uses the yum
python module was incorrectly ordering enabling and disabling.
The preferred order is to disable repositories and then enable them
to prevent clobbering. This was previously discussed in
ansible/ansible#5255 and incompletely addressed in 0cca4a3.
In cases when the python-apt package is not installed, ansible will
attempt to install it. After this attempt, it tries to import the
needed apt modules, but forgets to import the apt.debfile module.
The result is that playbooks that use the dpkg argument on a machine
that does not initially have the python-apt package available will
fail with the following error
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'debfile'
This patch adds the appropriate import to the apt module to ensure
that necessary libraries are available in cases when the dpkg argument
is being used on a system that does not initially have the python-apt
package installed
