In fedora10 i386 with russian language it remains an actual problem. Is it just the vmware rpm, or others as well? Can you describe how I can reproduce this please -- also, is the problem still present on the alpha/beta livecd? Thanks. Richard. I receive this error with any .rpm You can reproduce this by: 1. install fedora 10 with default russian (or french, i think) language 2. download any .rpm (for example - adobe flash player rpm) and save it in default Downloads directory (in russian called загрузки) 3. run this .rpm file from Nautilus or by gnome-open from console This problem still present on beta (i think) fedora i386 dvd. I have downloaded it from http://fedoraproject.org/ru/get-fedora-all -> i386 - Скачать DVD http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 480440 *** |
Description of problem: When installing a package from local file (VMware-server-2.0.0-122956.x86_64.rpm), a popup appears and asks me to report the following to "my distribution bug tracking system" : Error Type: <type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'> Error Value: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 65: ordinal not in range(128) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/rpmtrans.py, line 376, in callback self._instProgress( bytes, total, h ) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/rpmtrans.py, line 457, in _instProgress self.complete_actions, self.total_actions) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2173, in event self._showName(self.info_actions[action]) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2166, in _showName self.base.package(package_id, status, self.curpkg.summary) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 224, in package PackageKitBaseBackend.package(self, package_id, status, summary) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 109, in package print >> sys.stdout, "package\t$s\t$s\t$s" $ (status, package_id, summary) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [loic@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep packagekit gnome-packagekit-0.3.13-1.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime I try on fedora 10. This RPM installed just fine on Fedora 8. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download VMWare Server install RPM 2.double-click the install RPM 3.answer the questions until the install starts, and wait for it to crash Actual results: See above. When clicking the "Close" button in this error window, the process terminates and the software isn't installed. Expected results: Software properly installed Additional info: This very same RPM file installed just fine on Fedora 8 (backed it up before reinstalling my system with Fedora 10 tonight).
