mergerepos issue

[Jitesh Shah]

Hi all,
I have attached an external repo to one of my build tags. After
attaching the repo, I issued a "koji regen-repo <tag>". This is what I
get:

1348/2199 - kde-l10n-Walloon-4.2.2-1.fc11.noarch
1349/2199 - kde-l10n-Lithuanian-4.2.2-1.fc11.noarch

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe3 in position 28: ordinal not in range(128)

Unicode error?
I don't get it!
Any pointers?
