Topic: iconv: illegal input sequence at position *** (Solved)

[imcintyre]

I have the same messed up Server-Manager page as others.

As per the wiki,

Code: [Select]

http://wiki.contribs.org/Translations#Outdated_contribs I tried running the following:
[root@myserver ~]# find /etc/e-smith/locale/ -type f | xargs -n1 iconv -f UTF-8  -t UTF-8 > /dev/null
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 275
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 462

I searched and found this comment by Elmarconi http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=40768.30 and just thought it belonged in its own post.

Any help with what this is and what to do about it would be appreciated

[elmarconi]

As stated, problem can be tackled by moving /etc/e-smith/locale/fr to another location, e.g. /root/etc/e-smith/locale/fr.

BTW: I do not have your first error: position 275. That might be another contrib.
Please list installed contribs by running:

/sbin/e-smith/audittools/newrpms | grep smeserver

Thanks, I'm at work right now but will try later at home.

I got rid of both errors by moving the fr directory as you suggested.

I ran the other command with the following results:

[root@myserver ~]# /sbin/e-smith/audittools/newrpms | grep smeserver

Then I followed this:

specifically;

yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs
 signal-event post-upgrade
 signal-event reboot

and then server mgr is back to normal.

Thx Elmarconi and Cactus

Did you happen to see this?

[crazybob]

I had looked at, but failed to read it . It looks like the fetchmail contrib was the problem.


Thanks

Not sure what else to try but I had Cacti installed previously and had removed it thinking it may have been the problem but I'm not sure about the rrdtool error.

Sorry ... it's fixed now.
I had to do a

Code: [Select]

yum remove rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el4.rffollowed by

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
After the reboot, I could then do the

Code: [Select]

yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
It is all fixed now ...
