Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2013-03-21 14:36:23 UTC
Ok, thanks for report - and why is that reported against coreutils? I don't understand, can you please be more clear?

Comment 2 Lukáš Zachar 2013-03-21 14:40:16 UTC
Because of the rpm -qf `which tty` .
Please move it to the appropriate component as I have missed it. Sorry for the trouble.

Comment 3 Lukáš Zachar 2013-03-21 15:17:50 UTC
The easiest way to reproduce the problem is to boot the Test day's image
http://fedorapeople.org/groups/qa/20130320-gnome/20130320-gnome-x86_64.iso 
then switch into tty, login and run pstree or mc.

Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2013-03-21 15:48:25 UTC
No idea what's correct - it might have something to do with agetty/systemd ... probably the main reason there is the UTF-8 character in release name which seems to create the initial mess. I don't know. To have wider audience, moving it to distribution - as the default encoding should probably be Unicode.

Comment 5 Michal Sekletar 2013-03-21 15:56:02 UTC
I would say that pstree utility is not able to correctly recognize that terminal which is connected to doesn't support utf-8 wide chars. Can you provide output of env command? In particular I am interested in variables LANG and LC_CTYPE.

I am not sure what is the cause here, although I would say that it one of the following packages, bash, agetty, systemd or glibc (function setlocale(), nl_langinfo()).
