--- Comment #5 from Johannes Meixner 2013-10-22 16:41:17 CEST ---
I did not set any encoding explicitly.
I did not purposefully select the en_GB.iso885915 encoding.
I don't know for sure how the en_GB.iso885915 encoding was set.
I think I had logged in from remote via "ssh root@host" and
I had en_GB.iso885915 used as the user that called "ssh".
It works both with the default encodings for root and for normal users.
(The encoding of a normal user is used when one switches
to root with plain 'su' indead of 'su -').
This are the reported encodings in y2log: up to now:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# grep 'getenv LANG' /var/log/YaST2/y2log
2013-10-18 12:42:25 <1> g108(6899) [ncurses] YNCursesUI.cc(YNCursesUI):71
getenv LANG: en_GB.iso885915 encoding: ISO-8859-15
2013-10-22 16:22:26 <1> g108(4165) [ncurses] YNCursesUI.cc(YNCursesUI):71
getenv LANG: POSIX encoding: UTF-8
2013-10-22 16:30:08 <1> g108(29165) [ncurses] YNCursesUI.cc(YNCursesUI):71
getenv LANG: en_US.UTF-8 encoding: UTF-8
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It fails only for the first one but works for the other ones.
I think this issue has only minor severity.
FYI:
This are the default encodings for root and for a normal user:
