Description Mike FABIAN 2023-09-28 09:06:52 UTC

Since rxvt-unicode is built against perl 5.38, it can not display non-ascii anymore and one cannot type non-ascii.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Run urxvt in any UTF-8 locale 
- try to type something non-ASCII -> nothing is entered
- try to paste something non-ASCII into urxvt -> garbage is pasted
- try to display something on ascii for example `cat somefilewithnonascii.txt` -> garbage is displayed

Comment 1 Mike FABIAN 2023-09-28 09:14:45 UTC

If I do this change to the rxvt-unicode.spec file:

```
$ git diff 
diff --git a/rxvt-unicode.spec b/rxvt-unicode.spec
index 2222a32..81fd1e7 100644
--- a/rxvt-unicode.spec
+++ b/rxvt-unicode.spec
@@ -87,7 +87,7 @@ ln -s %{_datadir}/libev-source libev

  --enable-next-scroll \
  --enable-xterm-scroll \
- --enable-perl \
+ --disable-perl \
  --enable-mousewheel \
  --enable-xim \
  --with-codesets=all \
```

and then try to build with

`fedpkg --release f39 mockbuild --no-cleanup-after`

the build doesn’t finish because the file list wants to pack some files which are only generated on a build with perl:

RPM build errors:
    File not found: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/rxvt-unicode-9.31-5.fc39.x86_64/usr/share/man/man1/urxvt-background.1*

But the binary /var/lib/mock/fedora-39-x86_64/root/builddir/build/BUILD/rxvt-unicode-9.31/src/rxvt has  already been built and this binary works, it can display non-ascii characters jsut fine. 

So the upgrade to perl 5.38 seems to ahve broken something.

That's a duplicate of #2240458. Upgrading to perl-5.38.0-501 fixes this issue.
