Description

Problem:

host in foreman/katello existed with subscription_facet.uuid = X
host had been registered in the past, so there was a candlepin consumer with uuid XXX

host tried to re-register but got the following message from subscription-manager:

subscription-manager register --org="MyOrg" --activationkey="akey-centos7" 
HTTP error (404 - Not Found): Consumer with id e6ec3369-9568-4851-888c-75d08edf1624 could not be found.

Cause:

katello subscription_facet had consumer-uuid e6ec3369-9568-4851-888c-75d08edf1624 and also sent that one to candlepin in the POST-request to /candlepin/environments/<env-id>/consumers/?activation_keys=<akey-uuid>
candlepin returned a consumer with the already existing uuid XXX
katello did not update the consumer-uuid of the host's subscription-facet to XXX

Solution:
Katello should update subscription_facet with the consumer's uuid from candlepin-API
