What's your `locale`?
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #1) > What's your `locale`? tupone ~ # locale LANG=C LC_CTYPE="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_PAPER="C" LC_NAME="C" LC_ADDRESS="C" LC_TELEPHONE="C" LC_MEASUREMENT="C" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C" LC_ALL=
changing locale to [3] en_US * make it works
but I got this warning One or more package files are missing from the system. This should not cause any problems but you may want to reinstall the packages that installed them. The missing files are: /usr/lib/go/test/fixedbugs/issue27836.dir/foo.go /usr/lib/go/test/fixedbugs/issue27836.dir/main.go /usr/lib64/gio/modules/giomodule.cache Maybe the last is not related but the first two are in the directory with utf 8 names
app-portage/unsymlink-lib-9999 works to me

=app-portage/unsymlink-lib-17-r1 here. I just upgraded from 17.0 to 17.1 and ran into this same identical bug. rm -d /usr/lib64/go/test/fixedbugs/issue4964.dir/a.go rm -d /usr/lib64/go/test/fixedbugs/issue4964.dir/b.go Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.6/unsymlink-lib", line 827, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.6/unsymlink-lib", line 790, in main m.finish(pretend=args.pretend, resume=args.action.endswith('resume')) File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.6/unsymlink-lib", line 592, in finish out('rm -d {}', fp) File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.6/unsymlink-lib", line 41, in out _log(template, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.6/unsymlink-lib", line 30, in _log **kwargs UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xc4' in position 50: ordinal not in range(128) Performing either of the following seems to have temporarily resolved the problem. # LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 unsymlink or File /etc/env.d/02locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="C" # env-update && source /etc/profile I, as likely many others, dislike typing/reading non-ascii chars on their systems. My initial search seems to have found this is a common bug with Python scripting: "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)" https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9942594/unicodeencodeerror-ascii-codec-cant-encode-character-u-xa0-in-position-20 Suggest re-opening.
