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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #969309 +++

Description of problem:
When I create user in anaconda I can enter my real name and username. My real name is Łukasz and username entry is filled automatically. And then anaconda crashes. I can type Lukasz as real name and everything is fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
I tried it once.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create user in Anaconda (while installing packages)
2. type non-latin character in real name.

Actual results:
installer crashes

Expected results:
Be Łukasz.

Additional info:
I know that username generally shouldn't contain "Ł" character, but anaconda use it anyway. It crashes in the process, but even if it wouldn't, it's still bad idea to have "łukasz" username.

More additional info:

When I type "Łukasz Po" anaconda says:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 0: unexpected end of data - anaconda.

Pushed the fix for the crash to rhel7-branch

Verified on anaconda 19.31.54.
