the error message

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; zh-CN; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.4

clicking on an .rpm file for installation will fail if path to the package contains non-ascii characters (such as Chinese).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a directory with a name which contains non-ascii characters, e.g., Simplified Chinese.
2. place a valid .rpm file into the created directory.
3. double-click the .rpm file.
Actual Results:  
the package is not installed, YaST complains something like "package not found on media".

Expected Results:  
the package should be correctly installed.

This is more likely an issue with your file browser. I was unable to
reproduce this with konqueror, dolphin, nautilus or firefox.

Which one did you use?

And please attach YaST logs (see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST).
