Still happens with livecd-tools-031-1.fc12.1

/usr/share/yum-cli/*.py seem to have confusion handling Unicode in Python.  I'll attach a naive patch, which I confirmed fixing the original problem, though I think it might be better to use built-in print() instead of sys.stdout.write().

Created attachment 407956 [details]
patch to fix yum-cli Python unicode handling

is there any progress here?

Have you tried yum 3.2.28 from f12-updates?

Does it fix it ?

No, still happen with yum-3.2.28-3.fc12.

Did you apply Ueno-san's above patch? :)

 Ueno-san, I assume you meant instead of:

-                            sys.stdout.write(msg)
+                            sys.stdout.write(msg.encode(sys.stdout.encoding))

...you suggest:

-                            sys.stdout.write(msg)
+                            print msg,

...if so then I'd happily accept/apply that patch.

Yes, but sorry, I was totally missing the point.  livecd-tools should call yum.misc.setup_locale() before using any yum-cli module.  I've put an SRPM with the fix on:

http://ueno.fedorapeople.org/livecd-tools/livecd-tools-033-4.fc13.src.rpm

If it works, I think we can reassign this bug to livecd-tools.

Confirmed it by myself and reported to the livecd-tools upstream:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/livecd/2010-September/006234.html

Reassigning to livecd-tools.

This patch (from comment 11) has been committed upstream.

livecd-tools-034-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-034-1.fc14

Is it possible to have a backport for F13 too?

Maybe. If 034 works well in F14, I'll probably try testing it an F13.
If there is some problem with testing in F13, then I am not sure whether or not I'll have time to work on selective backporting of patches.

First things need to work well in F14 though.
