Description of problem: If fedora servers are not available, yum-cron is unable to convert some message (may be host unreachable) to proper encoding and raises an error. I use LANG=sk_SK.UTF-8 locale. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-cron-3.4.3-101.fc19.noarch How reproducible: I think it has something with network unreachables for fedora servers. Actual results: /etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/yum-cron", line 1124, in <module> main() File "/usr/sbin/yum-cron", line 1121, in main base.updatesCheck() File "/usr/sbin/yum-cron", line 1027, in updatesCheck self.findDeps() File "/usr/sbin/yum-cron", line 929, in findDeps self.emitCheckFailed("Failed to build transaction: %s" %(str.join("\n", resm sg),)) File "/usr/sbin/yum-cron", line 1086, in emitCheckFailed map(lambda x: x.checkFailed(error), self.emitters) File "/usr/sbin/yum-cron", line 1086, in <lambda> map(lambda x: x.checkFailed(error), self.emitters) File "/usr/sbin/yum-cron", line 109, in checkFailed self.sendMessages() File "/usr/sbin/yum-cron", line 689, in sendMessages print "".join(self.output) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u017e' in position 124: ordinal not in range(128)
