Lovely. An ancient issue. http://bugs.python.org/issue2931 Created attachment 329149 [details]
Patch for ksvalidator in pykickstart 1.50
This patch fixes the issue in an ugly way. I'd rather that it be fixed in Python directly though.

Better ksvalidator patch
Okay, after doing some reading I've decided that this isn't a Python bug after all, but rather a bug in how gettext is being used.
I'm suspicious given that we have hacks in yum to work around optparse blowing up in the same way ... also using install() means that _ is put in the global namespace (pointing to the ksvalidator domain) ... is that valid? Also _() is now returning unicode and not str() as it did before the patch, that could be a huge change for the rest of the code. On the other hand, the hack in yum to make it work is hella ugly and _() returns unicode in yum ... and getting optparse fixed is unlikely, so have fun Dan :)... This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This patch makes me a little nervous, but the worst that can happen is it breaks other things and I have to back it out. Let's see what happens. This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
