There were fixes for unicode things recently posted to the ML that will be out today. As you personally know, repos fields are the main symptom of that.
You probably don't have all of those fixes applied but wait and see what happens with 1.6.4

i'll wait for 1.6.4 then - it was just odd as this worked fine on one box but not on the other so i guess there is something slightly different between the 2.
i am afraid that the upgrade to 1.6.4 seems to have reintroduced the unicode bug that your previous patch seemed to resolve
# rpm -qa | grep cobbler cobbler-1.6.4-1
#2: One or more repos referenced by profile objects is no longer defined in cobbler: uRHEL-5.3-x86_64-base, uuCentOS-5.2-x86_64-base
# cobbler profile report --name=RHEL-5.3-x86_64 profile : RHEL-5.3-x86_64 distro : RHEL-5.3-x86_64 comment : created : Fri May 8 15:12:45 2009 dhcp tag : default enable menu : True kernel options : {} kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/default.ks ks metadata : {} mgmt classes : [] modified : Fri May 8 19:43:58 2009 name servers : [] name servers search : [] owners : [u'admin'] post kernel options : {} redhat mgmt key : <<inherit>> redhat mgmt server : <<inherit>> repos : ['uRHEL-5.3-x86_64-base'] server : <<inherit>> template_files : {} virt bridge : xenbr0 virt cpus : 1 virt file size : 5 virt path : virt ram : 512 virt type : qemu
This was fixed when i applied your git patch for 1.6.2
any ideas?
thanks
