This is very suspicious as python shouldn't be generating these messages ... but can you try this patch (added upstream, the file is /usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py): diff --git a/cli.py b/cli.py index ff24ac6..cb16e76 100644 --- a/cli.py +++ b/cli.py @@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ from yum.rpmtrans import RPMTransaction import signal import yumcommands -from yum.misc import to_unicode +from yum.misc import to_unicode, to_utf8 def sigquit(signum, frame): """ SIGQUIT handler for the yum cli.

I applied the patch manually because I get a "malformed" error. The error message still comes up.
What locale are you running in?
/etc/sysconfig/i18n says LANG="de_DE.utf8"
I don't know what's changed in the meanwhile, but I could successfully remove the kernel now.
