Description Petr Pisar 2019-04-15 08:42:56 UTC 
RPM Python binding started to warn on calling decode() on non-byte strings to in order to make the Python 3 binding Unicode-correct. It seems that rpmlint-1.10-22.fc31.noarch uses the bogus decode() method:

$ rpmlint -f perl-Socket.rpmlintrc perl-Socket-2.029-2.fc31.src.rpm 
/usr/share/rpmlint/Pkg.py:168: UnicodeWarning: decode() called on unicode string, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693751
  s.decode('UTF-8')
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

It happens when calling rpmlint on any RPM package. I have python3-rpm-4.14.2.1-7.fc31.x86_64.
