Description Ding-Yi Chen 2008-07-15 06:52:18 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Opera/9.51 (X11; Linux i686; U; en)

Description of problem:
rpmlint treats non-break-space (nbsp, ASCII A0) as warning.
It seems that rpmlint check the nbsp by search the char "A0" in char arrays.
However it falsely considers characters such as 码 (U+7801) as nbsp, because 
its UTF-8 code is E7 A0 81.

Since 码 (meaning: number, code) is frequently used in Simplfied Chinese 
summary, so it is good to fix it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpmlint-0.83

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put 码 (U+7801) in Summary or Description in any spec files
2. rpmlint <the spec>


Actual Results:
rpmlint returns W: non-break-space

Expected Results:
rpmlint does not show such warning

Could you upload a specfile that can be used to test this with somewhere or
attach it to this bug?  I'm not sure if I can enter the problematic characters
properly if I try to write one myself.

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2008-07-30 16:44:30 UTC

I think I managed to come up with a reproducer; this should be fixed upstream
and will be in the next post-0.84 release:

In case you still need an sample spec, try man-pages-ko.spec

Thanks, upstream svn head seems to do the job just fine with man-pages-ko.spec.
