Description Petr Pisar 2024-10-14 08:13:11 UTC 
perl-5.40.0-511.fc42 fails to build in Fedora 42:

+ for i in perl588delta.1 perldelta.1
+ iconv -c -f MS-ANSI -t UTF-8 perl588delta.1 --output new-perl588delta.1
+ rm perl588delta.1
+ mv new-perl588delta.1 perl588delta.1
+ for i in perl588delta.1 perldelta.1
+ iconv -c -f MS-ANSI -t UTF-8 perldelta.1 --output new-perldelta.1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6jC2uo (%install)

A difference between passing and failing build root is at <https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/build/18868618>. An upgrade of rpm-build or glibc is suspicious.
Comment 1 Jitka Plesnikova 2024-10-14 15:23:18 UTC 
It is broken since glibc build glibc-2.40.9000-4.fc42.

# iconv -f MS-ANSI -t UTF-8 perldelta.1 --output new-perldelta.1
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 56926

The invalid input is probably "Дилян Палаузов."
Comment 2 Jitka Plesnikova 2024-10-15 11:16:23 UTC 
I checked that all core non-ASCII POD files and test script contains '=encoding utf8'. The conversion is no longer needed.
