    It said no package is marked as updated, then I download inkscape-0.46-6.fc10.1 directly from a fedora repository mirror, but encountered the following error when I installing the rpm package:

Error Type: <type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>

You can install the package from command line: rpm -Uvh "downloaded-file.rpm"

I'm still interested in how did you get the above backtrace. Which tool did you try to use to install the package? Can you reproduce the issue?

Also, I'm wondering which locale (language setting) do you use? Obtain it with:
echo $LC_ALL

    I successfully installed the package "inkscape-0.46-6.fc10.1" by command line，and it works fine now.

    the backtrace above is displayed when I double click the file "inkscape-0.46-6.fc10.1.rpm" in desktop and after a few step, the error message is displayed in a dialog, I guess this is outputed by yum. I am curious about what's the difference between double click a rpm package to install it and type rpm xxx command in a terminal to install it.

    as for may locale:
