Description of problem: I am unable to execute tests on F-19/ppc64 because of the following error: test -x runtest.sh || chmod a+x runtest.sh ./runtest.sh Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/beakerlib-journalling", line 717, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/bin/beakerlib-journalling", line 655, in main return Journal.initializeJournal(options.test, options.package) File "/usr/bin/beakerlib-journalling", line 418, in initializeJournal return Journal.saveJournal(newdoc) File "/usr/bin/beakerlib-journalling", line 426, in saveJournal output.write(newdoc.toxml().encode('utf-8')) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 46, in toxml return self.toprettyxml("", "", encoding) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 61, in toprettyxml return writer.getvalue() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/StringIO.py", line 271, in getvalue self.buf += ''.join(self.buflist) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 23: ordinal not in range(128) rlJournalStart: Failed to initialize the journal. Bailing out... make: *** [run] Error 1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): probably beakerlib-redhat-1-6.fc16.noarch How reproducible: always I have scheduled a job in beaker on F-19 / ppc64
What is the 'beakerlib' package version? We had such bug in F19 gold which was fixed later in an update. If the box in question was not updated, but simply installed from GOLD tree, then it's probably that one.
should be beakerlib-1.7-1.fc19.noarch.
Yep, that's it. That is already fixed in sufficiently updated F19. See bug 961121. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 961121 ***
Yes, I can confirm that the bug is fixed in recent beakerlib versions (I tried 1.8-1.fc19). OTOH for some reason the latest version available in F19 ppc64 is 1.7-1.fc19. Any idea why?
Good point. Maybe I need to do something more to update also on ppc. I'll research on that and let you know here.
