Error: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings.

Is this still going on with latest yum in rawhide?

No, I think it went away somewhere in RAwhide.
