[Spacewalk-list] UnicodeEncodeError with schedule or rhn_check

[Nablas]

Hello, I have a problem with configuration channels. I configured a channel
with two files and it worked until last upgrade to SpaceWalk 1.0. Now I get
the following traceback. I think the problem is caused when the server
schelude a file comparison to the client. The client excutes the script and
it returns a message in local language. In my case, at position 435, the
script finds "ú" (0xFA) so it aborts with error.

I found a workaround: export LANGUAGE, LANG or similar variable with English
before executing rhn_check, but I'll have to modify several systems.

¿Any idea to solve the problem?
