What locale are you running as?
LANG=de_DE yum info checkpolicy ...fails for me.
Although with a different traceback, and on the summary data (for both the Fed-8 and Fed-9 versions).
So the problem is that the pkg.summary/pkg.description appear to be defined as "ascii", even though they are actually utf-8 and contain ® etc.
Ok, so I this fixes it for me: diff --git a/output.py b/output.py index 0b1498b..06bf1d6 100644 --- a/output.py +++ b/output.py @@ -276,6 +276,7 @@ class YumOutput: if t != s: s = t break + s = unicode(s, "UTF-8") return s print _("Name : %s") % pkg.name print _("Arch : %s") % pkg.arch ...can you try that, Horst?
Re 2: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Re 6: Just tried again, no patches. Now it works! (?!) Only change is that I had to reboot (for completely unrelated reasons) after updating today.
closing as fixed upstream as I believe it is.
