Description Antti Järvinen 2016-07-03 21:52:33 UTC 
Created attachment 1175702 [details]
Offending RPM

Description of problem: Rpmlint always prints message "TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlint.noarch 1.8-7.fc25


How reproducible: Have latest unrelased version of classified-ads and say "rpmlint <prog>.rpm".

Actual results: Rpmlint always prints message "TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object"

Expected results: Rpmlint prints out listing of sw problems. 


Additional info: This does not happen with all RPMs but this new version of classified-ads is one. RPM is included as an attachment to this bug report. The RPM itself seems to be all right e.g. it is produced with no error messages, it installs as it should and the sw inside starts as expected so I don't see any major problem in the RPM itself. Somehow rpmlint fails to dissect that.
