Description Christian Becke 2007-04-01 01:51:11 UTC 
Hi,

glsa-200703-26.xml contains UTF-8 characters, which crashes glsa-check:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 148, in ?
    myglsa = Glsa(x, 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 11: ordinal not in range(128)

Removing the char (é in a name in description) fixed it for me.

Thx for the report. This is fixed in CVS.

I simply substituted é with e, Falco feel free to make a better fix or close this bug.
