Hi, thanks for the report. It could give better message and correctly ends with error code instead of traceback.

Heldwin, did you do that accidentally or you wanted to achieve something by setting locale to ASCII chars only and put inside non-ASCII chars?
Comment 2 Heldwin 2014-10-20 22:39:04 UTC 
My system is in french (fr_CH), and used that command to get an english output of dnf.

So, it is mid-way accidentally and not accidentally.

Accidentally, for having an accentued character in the path, and not accidentally, because it is easier to get help when we switch output to english with LANG=C.

If I put the local rpm in a path that doesn't have an accentued char, it doesn't give that traceback and the command end correctly.
