Description of problem: after the latest "yum update" (these packages -> http://phpfi.com/334560) , yum cries: Lade Pakete herunter: Führe rpm_check_debug durch FEHLER mit rpm_check_debug gegen depsolve: 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 241, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 193, in main base.doTransaction() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 377, in doTransaction print msg File "/usr/lib/python2.5/codecs.py", line 303, in write data, consumed = self.encode(object, self.errors) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 19: ordinal not in range(128) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum 3.2.16 How reproducible: always. run "yum install foobar", "yum remove foobar" etc. Actual results: yum useless, see the output Expected results: yum usable
please try yum 3.2.17 from updates-testing and see if it works any better. Thanks.
Also what locale is this? It looks like de_DE.utf-8 ... although that works fine here with 3.2.17+ (and I'm not sure what would have changed to fix it, or even why 3.2.16 is failing for you).
Installed yum-3.2.17-2.fc9.noarch.rpm from updates-testing. Works fine. This new yum should be in stable! >> It looks like de_DE.utf-8 << Yes it is "de_DE.utf8"
