Description of problem: If I erroneously type a command in Greek, I get a strange error message. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.24-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:\ 1. Start a Konsole or gnome-terminal window. 2. Set the encoding to ISO-8859-7. 3. Type or paste the Greek character α at the prompt, followed by a space. 4. Hit <enter>. Actual results: bash: α: command not found... process 32328: arguments to dbus_message_iter_append_basic() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (*string_p)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 2526. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Aborted Expected results: bash: α: command not found... Additional info: I am running KDE. If the terminal encoding is UTF-8, the error message does not appear. The process id mentioned in the error message is not that of the shell and changes if I try again.
Thanks for the report. This message comes from command_not_found_handler from PackageKit-command-not-found package. Looks like it is incorrectly handling locales.
