Description
When trying to deploy files with special chars in it (like german umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ..)) I get tracebacks on the client. I have attached two files containing the output of bcfg2-client.
bcfg2-error-w-lxml.log: Output when python-lxml is installed
bcfg2-error-wo-lxml.log: Output when python-lxml is not installed
The file which should be deployed is UTF-8 encoded. Server and client have set 'encoding = utf-8' in their configurations.
I'm using bcfg2-server 1.1.1 on a Debian lenny machine. On client side I can reproduce the problem with Debian lenny, squeeze and Ubuntu natty without python-lxml installed, but only on Ubuntu natty with python-lxml installed. So versions of python-lxml older than 2.3 seem to avoid this problem somehow...
I have also attached a patch for the client which solves the problem. But I think this is only a workaround and the real problem is on server side because the XML data should be encoded correctly before it is sent to the client.
