LookupError: unknown encoding: CHARSET

This is due to the fa pykickstart translation having 'charset=CHARSET' in it.
Various other pykickstart translations are similar.

No, I don't know why this doesn't crash in non-test mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pykickstart-0.35-1

How reproducible:

Every time.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2006-10-13 21:23:06 UTC
Actually, this crashes in non-test mode if you pick 'Kannada', which has
charset=CHARSET translations for both rhpl and pykickstart.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2006-10-13 22:11:26 UTC
OK, new rhpl, rhpxl, pykickstart, system-config-date, and system-config-keyboard
built. Wheeee!

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2006-10-16 15:22:51 UTC
How aggravating.  I assume these have been moved into the FC6 tree?

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2006-10-16 15:34:03 UTC
Yep.
