I've just found that the wv2 package also causes this breakage. Its description is "A library which allows access to Microsoft® Word files". The registered trademark sign is causing this one... This has been fixed in yum-3.2.14-7.f9 and above in rawhide/koji |
Description of problem: Yum doesn't handle extended ASCII characters in package descriptions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.14-2.fc9.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum info git-daemon or 1. add an extended ASCII character to a package's description within the package's spec file: %package daemon Summary: Git protocol dæmon Group: Development/Tools Requires: git = %{version}-%{release} %description daemon The git dæmon for supporting git:// access to git repositories Character 10 within %description, æ, is extended ASCII code 145. Actual results: $ yum info git-daemon Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Available Packages Name : git-daemon Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.5.4.5 Release : 3.fc9 Size : 102 k Repo : rawhide Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module> yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 236, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 111, in main result, resultmsgs = base.doCommands() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 309, in doCommands return self.yum_cli_commands[self.basecmd].doCommand(self, self.basecmd, self.extcmds) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yumcommands.py", line 214, in doCommand rap = base.listPkgs(ypl.available, _('Available Packages'), basecmd) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 338, in listPkgs self.infoOutput(pkg) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 305, in infoOutput print self.fmtKeyValFill(_("Summary : "), enc(pkg.summary)) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 257, in fmtKeyValFill val = str(val) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe6' in position 14: ordinal not in range(128) Expected results: Yum shouldn't traceback even if there is junk in a package's description. Additional info: I've filed bug 442691 against git to have the character removed.
