Description of problem: .rpm file located in cyrillic directories can not be installed with gnome-open either from nautilus or from any other application due to 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-0.3.8-6.fc10.i386 yum-3.2.19-6.fc10.noarch rpm-4.6.0-0.rc1.5.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Either run .rpm file from nautilus or execute 'gnome-open some.rpm' from console Actual results: Fails to install rpm. Displays error window with the following stacktrace: Error Type: <type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'> Error Value: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 54: ordinal not in range(128) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2150, in <module> main() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2147, in main backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 599, in dispatcher self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 512, in dispatch_command self.install_files(trusted, files_to_inst) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 1337, in install_files self.error(ERROR_LOCAL_INSTALL_FAILED, "Can't install $s" $ inst_file) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 87, in error print "error\t$s\t$s" $ (err, description) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/codecs.py, line 303, in write data, consumed = self.encode(object, self.errors)
This bug is not hard to bump in, because when after Fedora installation user switches to his own language and later manually downloads any .rpm into default Downloads folder (which is called 'Загрузки' in Russian) - the user won't be able to install it (from any of the following: Nautilus, Opera, Firefox) without going to console.

I've fixed this upstream in: commit 50cc67b36d2eb71fec08995c31373b5b4d31065f Author: Richard Hughes <richard> Date: Sun Oct 26 18:10:40 2008 +0000 yum: handle utf8 error values to fix non English locales. Fixes rh#468602 I switched my system language to French and then created a Загрузки directory with an rpm in it. This now works. I'll upload a new version to rawhide on Monday. Are there any other operations you've noticed that fail in a non-English locale? Thanks.
Thank you. If I find any other failures - I'll let you know.
