Description Miro Hrončok 2019-04-03 11:14:43 UTC
See https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/70118b5500a3f3ab01c681fb76162bd3478978f5/dnf/i18n.py#L85

def setup_locale():
    try:
        dnf.pycomp.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
    except locale.Error as e:
        # default to C locale if we get a failure.
        print('Failed to set locale, defaulting to C', file=sys.stderr)
        os.environ['LC_ALL'] = 'C'
        dnf.pycomp.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C')


Can we please try to defaulting to C.utf-8 instead? That would be more in line with https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Reset-locale-if-not-available

Thanks.

Comment 1 Marek Blaha 2019-04-03 13:27:45 UTC
This needs to be done carefully, there is no C.UTF-8 locale on RHEL 7.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-04-03 13:41:30 UTC
Sure. I was thinking something like:

try:
    dnf.pycomp.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
except locale.Error:
    try:
        dnf.pycomp.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C.utf-8')
    except locale.Error:
        dnf.pycomp.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C')
