Bug 828625

Guangze find that the fix is incomplete:

"

From yesterday's v7 info job, this bug is also seen even if not setting --debug:

https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/242814
http://beaker-archive.app.eng.bos.redhat.com/beaker-logs/2012/06/2428/242814/516969/6120540/32856054/test_log-v7-info-GPL_UNSIGNED.log
(at the bottom)

This is the patch already checked in R32:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=570607&action=diff

except UnicodeDecodeError, error: 
    if self.debug != Constants.off:
        print "Warning: Unicode decode error in %s" % syslog
    print error <--- still printing this error msg
    # if we can't decode it, skip the whole line
    continue

"

Seems missing a indention above. I don't think this will blocker 1.5, let's push to next version.

Description of problem:

https://hardware.redhat.com/results.cgi?cert_id=709613&id=231345

reboot took 00:03:00
method: reboot
kernel: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64
Warning: Unicode decode error in /var/log/messages

[repeating]

This could also be seen in other tests, not only kdump.

Guangze/HWCERT team, can we find a stable reproducer?

This warnings are innocuous - we'll change it so they only appear if --debug is set.

This looks like it should stay on 1.5 but is not a blocker.
