Description Matt Domsch 2008-05-09 01:35:53 UTC
Description of problem:
<mdomsch> scenario: yum downloads metadata (or tries to) while behind some
captive access point
<mdomsch> the AP lies and says "sure, here's the mirrorlist"
<mdomsch> when in fact what you got was the AP's welcome page
<mdomsch> packagekitd segfaults
<mdomsch> from this
<mdomsch> yum clean metadata, after getting past the AP's welcome page, is needed
<skvidal> okay
<skvidal> so yum's doing the right thing in that case
<skvidal> bitching about the content of the mirrorlist
<skvidal> the issue you're seeing is
<skvidal> python's $$^$^#@!$#@!$ unicode support bitching b/c of the different
encodings
<skvidal> mdomsch: please file it, we'll fix the error message
<skvidal> we just have to tell it to encode/decode that string
<skvidal> it's not the end of the world
<skvidal> just very irritating
<mdomsch> thought you'd appreciate it
<mdomsch> always trying to brighten your world - that's me :-)
<skvidal> mdomsch: you see how it is trying to raise properly?
<mdomsch> yep
