Description of problem: I get a python callback whenever I'm trying to update my rawhide machine using dnf: $ dnf -y update ... Running transaction check Transaction check succeeded. Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded. Running transaction Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/yum/rpmtrans.py", line 404, in callback self._scriptStop(bytes, total, h); File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/yum/rpmtrans.py", line 537, in _scriptStop self._scriptout() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/yum/rpmtrans.py", line 201, in _scriptout self.display.scriptout(msgs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/cli/output.py", line 2429, in scriptout sys.stdout.write(unicode(msgs)) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 6: ordinal not in range(128) FATAL ERROR: python callback <bound method RPMTransaction.callback of <dnf.yum.rpmtrans.RPMTransaction object at 0x7fcbe71ae990>> failed, aborting! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.5.1-1.fc21.noarch Additional info: It happens all the time. I tried rebuilding the rpm database and cleaning dnf caches, none of which helped.
I investigated the problem a bit and I found out that updating texlive-base triggers the problem. I updated a lot of packages without a problem, but tex* packages trigger the error. # rpm -q texlive-base texlive-base-2013-8.20140305_r33094.fc21.noarch # dnf update texlive-base Dependencies resolved. ============================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================================================== Upgrading: texlive-base noarch 3:2013-12.20140512_r33995.fc21 rawhide 1.5 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================================================================================================================================== Upgrade 1 Package Total size: 1.5 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: [SKIPPED] texlive-base-2013-12.20140512_r33995.fc21.noarch.rpm: Already downloaded Running transaction check Transaction check succeeded.
