Description Petr Pisar 2017-07-03 13:40:04 UTC 
biber-2.6-5.fc27 fails to build in F27 because tests fail like this:

Executing(%check): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.DbZvW2

+ cd /builddir/build/BUILD

A difference between working and failing build root is:

This is perhaps caused by upgrading perl-Encode.

Upstream has already fix in the git tree <https://github.com/plk/biber/commit/802ddd5a01249195e32b810e2aa504fbed6903f1>.
Comment 1 Colin Macdonald 2017-08-10 17:59:34 UTC 
Hmmm, I cannot reproduce.  Maybe further upgrade to perl-Encode to 2.92 has fixed it (?)

Of course do please re-open if I've missed something and I will cherry-pick the upstream patch.
Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2017-08-11 08:10:35 UTC 
Yes, it was fixed in Encode-2.92 <https://github.com/dankogai/p5-encode/issues/116>.
