RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Additional info:
- This issue is also reproducible in vim-common-7.4.629-6.el7 (RHEL 7.7) and vim-common-8.0.1763-10.el8 (RHEL 8.0), but NOT reproducible in vim-common-8.1.1790-1.fc30 (Fedora30) and vim-common-8.1.1713-1.fc29 (Fedora29).
- In Fedora, the same issue was reported and fixed in BZ#1035606. (In a spec file, an original UTF-8 file is incorrectly recognized as latin1 and converted from latin1 to UTF-8.)
- According to BZ#1584647, similar issue seems to reappear in recent Fedora. But it was not reproducible in my Fedora 30 or 29 environment.

Hi Yuki,

thank you for letting me know and investigation!

I can reproduce the issue with steps from Fedora bug.

My suspicion is there is missing if statement in spec scriptlet, which can cause the issue, I'll quickly check.

Fixes the issue.
Comment 5 Yuki Okada 2019-08-21 06:40:14 UTC 
Thank you for your quick response.

In RHEL8, you might need to install glibc-langpack-ja package because glibc locales are subpackaged to glibc-langpack-<language>.
