Description of problem: The description of the git-daemon package contains extended ASCII code 145, æ (a backwards 'a' and 'e'). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): git-daemon-1.5.4.5-3.fc9 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum info git-daemon Actual results: $ yum info git-daemon Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Available Packages Name : git-daemon Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.5.4.5 Release : 3.fc9 Size : 102 k Repo : rawhide Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module> yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 236, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 111, in main result, resultmsgs = base.doCommands() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 309, in doCommands return self.yum_cli_commands[self.basecmd].doCommand(self, self.basecmd, self.extcmds) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yumcommands.py", line 214, in doCommand rap = base.listPkgs(ypl.available, _('Available Packages'), basecmd) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 338, in listPkgs self.infoOutput(pkg) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 305, in infoOutput print self.fmtKeyValFill(_("Summary : "), enc(pkg.summary)) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 257, in fmtKeyValFill val = str(val) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe6' in position 14: ordinal not in range(128) Expected results: Whilst I realise that this is a bug in yum and not git, its probably not a great idea to use the extended ASCII character in the description (and I'll file a bug against yum too). Additional info: %package daemon Summary: Git protocol dæmon Group: Development/Tools Requires: git = %{version}-%{release} %description daemon The git dæmon for supporting git:// access to git repositories
I've filed bug 442695 against yum.
Closing as wontfix, since this was a temporary regression in yum, and the git-daemon description has always used the funky character.
