Description of problem: rpmlint errors out on a missing dictionary and seemingly don't check anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlint-1.11-12.fc33.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just run rpmlint on a package that does make use of alternative Summary: %description, etc... for a language with no corresponding dictionary installed. (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/sympa does have some japanese tags) 2. 3. Actual results: $ rpmlint results_sympa/6.2.58/2.fc34/sympa-*.rpm 0 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rpmlint", line 379, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/rpmlint", line 169, in main runChecks(pkg) File "/usr/bin/rpmlint", line 227, in runChecks check.check(pkg) File "/usr/share/rpmlint/TagsCheck.py", line 699, in check self.check_summary(pkg, lang, ignored_words) File "/usr/share/rpmlint/TagsCheck.py", line 920, in check_summary spell_check(pkg, summary, 'Summary(%s)', lang, ignored_words) File "/usr/share/rpmlint/TagsCheck.py", line 462, in spell_check checker = enchant.checker.SpellChecker( File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/enchant/checker/__init__.py", line 140, in __init__ raise DefaultLanguageNotFoundError(lang) from None enchant.errors.DefaultLanguageNotFoundError: ja Expected results: Usual rpmlint output. At the very least, a missing dictionary shouldn't be a fatal issue. The missing language should just be ignored and a warning issued, then rpmlint would just actually check the packages. Additional info: rpmlint works on the specfile itself.
