[Convert: Subscription Manager - Subscribe system] UnicodeEncodeError about convert2rhel HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @HepplerDotNet, thank you for the report and sorry for the inconvenience.

To work around the issue, run # LANG=C convert2rhel.

Just for reference, I've filed a Bugzilla for this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2022854.

from convert2rhel.

@HepplerDotNet just adding, that LC_ALL sets all LC_* (local collations), but not LANG. So ideal is to set both in similar problems just to be sure, e.g. LC_ALL=C LANG=C convert2rhel - I mean in general, not just for convert2rhel.

Update: just to be more specific, I thought that LC_ALL affects LANG as well. But on RHEL 7+ and derivated distributious the behaviour is really like that. Not sure when that change happened, whether it's on all distributions or it's just Fedora/RHEL specific, etc. I haven't investigated that deeper.

@pirat89, it seems it's just the subscription-manager that's misbehaving: #386 (comment). LC_ALL is supposed to have priority over LANG.

@bocekm actually not. you can try and check output of the locale command. You can see, that LANG is not overwritten by the LC_ALL setup, but all other LC values are. So actually it seems that RHSM behaves correctly. - Ignore the comment. I just realized the link you shared :) Anyway, in such a case the locale output itself seems buggy to me as well. Thanks for the sharing \o

Fixed by #386.
