Description Richard Hughes 2010-04-23 12:29:30 UTC
Description of problem:
In the PackageKit yum backend, loads of code is dedicated to making sure (and converting if it's not) that all text output from yum commands is unicode.

It would be great to all have all methods returning unicode, rather than the situation now where some methods do, some don't, and some sometimes do, depending on the packages that are returned.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.27-3.fc13.noarch

Comment 1 seth vidal 2010-04-29 18:24:04 UTC
the only items that could come out of yum as NOT unicode I can think of are things coming out of rpm and/or the rpmdb.

Panu, any comment? Am I out in left field?

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 20:35:20 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
