[Yum-devel] Unicode Decode Error with yum info

[Kulbir Saini]

Hi all!
	I am a newbie trying to learn yum to participate in regular
development. I was using yum shell and trying out random commands. The
'info' command seems broken in latest source. Below is the error trace.

	I did this with latest yum source which was pulled 5 minutes ago.

[project at localhost yum]$ ./yummain.py shell
