My daily glsa-check -t all (which runs after a emerge --sync, which is also run nightly) aborted. I ran it manually an got this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 252, in ? myglsa = Glsa(myid, glsaconfig) File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 414, in __init__ self.read() File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 432, in read self.parse(urllib.urlopen(myurl)) File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 470, in parse self.description = getText(myroot.getElementsByTagName("description")[0], format="xml") File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 233, in getText return str(rValue) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 8: ordinal not in range(128) Running glsa-check -l aborts with a similar error message right after GLSA '200701-11 [U] Kronolith: Local file inclusion ( www-apps/horde-kronolith )' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 170, in ? myglsa = Glsa(myid, glsaconfig) File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 414, in __init__ self.read() File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 432, in read self.parse(urllib.urlopen(myurl)) File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 470, in parse self.description = getText(myroot.getElementsByTagName("description")[0], format="xml") File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 233, in getText return str(rValue) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 8: ordinal not in range(128) I did an emerge --sync on another machine and could reproduce the error. Before the sync it was working. Reproducible: Always
