Description of problem: Running $ yum info aterm.x86_64 from a gnome-terminal works fine, but $ yum info aterm.x86_64 > /dev/null crashes with the error message Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module> yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 94, in main result, resultmsgs = base.doCommands() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 264, in doCommands return self.yum_cli_commands[self.basecmd].doCommand(self, self.basecmd, self.extcmds) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yumcommands.py", line 165, in doCommand base.listPkgs(ypl.available, 'Available Packages', basecmd) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 102, in listPkgs self.infoOutput(pkg) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 73, in infoOutput print _("Description:\n%s") % pkg.description UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xb4' in position 109: ordinal not in range(128) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.0-1.fc7 How reproducible: Every time. I tried using tee(1) but that also barfs. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum info aterm.x86_64 > /dev/null 2. 3. Actual results: (as above) Expected results: No error, and 'yum info aterm.x86_64 > /tmp/foo && cat /tmp/foo' should provide the same result as 'yum info aterm.x86_64'.

As a result, aterm uses much less swap space -- a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
