How reproducible:
Always

Additional info:
I have my system in fr_CH.utf-8
u'\xe9' is probably 'é'

Just changing current locale to fr_CH.utf-8 and using the steps to reproduce, I am unable to reproduce this bug. I find no traceback for me in messages file.

The only related change commit I find in the source code from 0.4.12 to 0.4.13 release is this https://github.com/akozumpl/dnf/commit/aa74c305622557c7b77308a76992b6f3e385c653
