328	Python does not recognize OS/2 Chinese codepage (1386)	Alex Taylor		"YUM unfortunately fails when run on OS/2 Simplified Chinese version using the standard codepage (1386).

I wonder if this is because (being ported software) it expects the GBK encoding to be codepage 936 instead?  (936 is the GBK codepage under Windows.  OS/2 uses codepage number 1386 instead.)

Perhaps an alias or mapping needs to be added somewhere?


(In spite of the superficial similarity to ticket #88, I suspect this is not actually the same error condition.  However, similarly to #88, yum can be forced to run by changing the process codepage to 850 ''and'' setting LANG=en_US.)"	defect	closed	major		yum		low	fixed
