steps to repro:

open vi, type "rhel-6" and then enter a "non-breaking space" before and after the string. To enter one, type Ctrl-K <space> <space>. Save this as a new file.

Then, cat this file and save to the clip board.

Create a repo but for relative-url, use the string you just created.

When publishing this repo, you should get the stacktrace listed above. Pulp should do a check when parsing to ensure that the relative-url is ascii (same as the check for repo-id).

Workaround: ensure that spaces surrounding relative url are "regular" spaces and not non-breaking spaces. I suspect this can happen when copying/pasting from a web page or other source.
