glsa problem

# glsa-check -p affected

Anyone have a clue why my glsa check does not work? I installed the latest gentoolkit and did a system update and ran revdep-rebuild but my glsa does not work!

Hmmmmm mine does nt work either:

glsa-check -p affected
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 154, in ?
myglsa = Glsa(x, glsaconfig)

self.description = getText(myroot.getElementsByTagName("description")[0], format="xml")
File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 238, in getText
return str(rValue)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 544: ordinal not in range(128)


Any ideas

This has happened a couple of times before with different GLSAs, to fix this one open /usr/portage/metadata/glsa/glsa-200709-18.xml, go to line 40 and replace the é's in Frédéric with e's (Frederic)

Thanks!

I edited the xml and afterwards got this: " IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/portage/metadata/glsa/glsa-200709-18..xml' "

Then I went to the xml and added another . and then it worked fine. Weird!
