RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Marian Ganisin 2011-04-19 11:58:19 UTC 
I forget package version:
rhn-setup-1.0.0-60.el6.noarch
Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-19 12:26:32 UTC 
I assume you have LC_ALL set to cs_CZ. Right?
Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-19 12:26:59 UTC 
Aha, I see it already in subject of this bug.
Comment 5 Marian Ganisin 2011-04-19 12:45:06 UTC

> Aha, I see it already in subject of this bug.

Sorry. :) Next time I will put all necessary information in one place.
Comment 9 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-19 14:58:42 UTC 
Already fixed in upstream in BZ 683546
Comment 10 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-19 15:13:48 UTC 
Cherry picked as ef0a64cec0cdcf553e2020d7941ab5c7429dafd8
Comment 12 Marian Ganisin 2011-04-20 07:08:02 UTC 
Just for information also execution of rhn_register (without any option) results in same (or similar) error (again with LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8):

I suppose it is just a duplicate of issue reported here, hopefully it is already fixed as well.
Comment 13 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-20 08:48:49 UTC 
Yes, I'm aware of that.
It should even affect:
spacewalk-channel
rhn-profile-sync
yum-rhn-plugin
Comment 15 Martin Minar 2011-04-20 09:30:49 UTC 
Verified in rhn-client-tools-1.0.0-61.el6 yum-rhn-plugin-0.9.1-26.el6

Reproducer:
