This is a simple str => exception2msg upstream. Should fix it. In which scenario is the updated function adderror(po, str(e)) used? I tried to reproduce the bug with the same update and LANG settings but it didn't work. Seems that it was some occasional error. That piece of code handles mostly messages from urlgrabber, these are AFAIK not localized. 'Insufficient space in download directory' from Yum is localized, so that should trigger the bug. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2012-0857.html |
