88	yum commands fail when running under LANG=ja_JP	Alex Taylor		"Running any yum command on a Japanese OS/2 system, or any language system when SET LANG=ja_JP has been set, results only in an error output similar to the following.

{{{
[E:\]yum list updates
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ""/@unixroot/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py"", line 550, in <module>
    main()
  File ""/@unixroot/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py"", line 540, in main
    setencoding()
  File ""/@unixroot/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py"", line 494, in setencoding
    sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding) # Needs Python Unicode build !
}}}

Using yum 3.2.27-6 and python 2.7.6-10.

(IIRC, this seems to be a somewhat different error message than I got under the same circumstances with python 2.6.)

The workaround is to run SET LANG=en_US before running any yum command, but it's difficult for me to ask the user(s) I'm supporting to do that."	defect	closed	Feedback Pending		rpm		highest	fixed
