Long comments[edit]
- ↑ Also tested low /boot space for download. A window displayed warning 'failed to download install data. This could be caused by a missing network connection or a bad mirror'
- ↑
It even did not start downloading packages printing:
"File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 687, in userconfirm
choice = raw_input(_('Is this ok [y/N]: '))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters...".
It seems to be a yum bug related to upstream--Python.
