Description Miloš Komarčević 2008-05-20 19:19:40 UTC
It is impossible to interact with yum when in sr_RS.utf8 locale, where 'y', 'n',
'yes' and 'no' have been translated to local Cyrillic counterparts 'д', 'н',
'да', and 'не', all using UTF-8. This probably also affects other locales using
non-ASCII characters.

Output:

/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py:360: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison
failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

Comment 1 James Antill 2008-05-20 21:12:38 UTC
 Is this fixed if you do:

choice = unicode(choice)

...just before the above lines?


Comment 2 Miloš Komarčević 2008-05-21 19:18:10 UTC
Nope, got the following traceback:

Да ли је ово у реду [д/Н]: д
Traceback (most recent call last):

    choice = unicode(choice)

Comment 3 James Antill 2008-05-21 19:56:42 UTC
 This was before the line:

            choice = choice.lower()

...?

Comment 4 Miloš Komarčević 2008-05-21 20:13:20 UTC
The above report was for after, but the same error is reported when inserted
before as well (just on line 359 instead of course).

Comment 5 Igor Miletic 2008-05-27 04:23:54 UTC
If I place the line:

            choice = unicode(choice, 'utf-8', 'replace')

after the line:

            choice = choice.lower()

yum works well for bith sr_RS.UTF-8 language (Serbian) and en_US.UTF-8 (American
English).


Comment 6 James Antill 2008-05-27 15:27:59 UTC
 The above doesn't make much sense ... but I've checked in a fix which I think
will help you, and it seems to work for me when I use LANG=sr_RS.utf8.

 It's upstream commit: d9a2fac4f73a867a70ff460f2416d38a577cc4e4
 This should be fixed by 3.2.17, whenever that is released.
