This is actually a bug in yum. I don't think there is a bug filed on this yet, so I'll toss it in their queue. This is not as low priority as it seems. Case 1. After booting from Rawhide Live CD (build 04/04/08): 1. Select Russian language at login screen 2. Try running liveinst from command line. It failes due to the same reason. Case 2. Latest updates downloaded. (15 apr 08) Trying to install Adobe Flash player: 1. Set "Russian language" in system settings. 3. Go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux 3. Select version to download: YUM for Linux 4. After installing repo rpm: "yum search adobe" fails for the same reason.

I don't know in which way it may relate to Russian language interface but it work's fine with "yum search" now. Thanks. No opportunity to check with liveinst though. |
