Description of problem: libexif contains a non-utf8/non-ascii encoded file /usr/share/doc/libexif-0.6.13/README rpmlint doesn't catch this (check the README for "Lutz". The last name after Lutz is "Müller", but it is displayed as "M<junk>ller". The file seems to be iso8859-X encoded.) # rpmlint libexif-0.6.13-2.i386.rpm E: libexif zero-length /usr/share/doc/libexif-0.6.13/AUTHORS Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libexif-0.6.13-2
Right, due to (probably my) thinko uncompressed doc files were not checked in 0.80 and earlier. Fixed upstream a week ago, will be in the next release: http://rpmlint.zarb.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/changeset/1343 $ rpmlint libexif libexif.x86_64: E: zero-length /usr/share/doc/libexif-0.6.13/AUTHORS libexif.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/libexif-0.6.13/ChangeLog libexif.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/libexif-0.6.13/COPYING libexif.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/libexif-0.6.13/README
rpmlint-0.81-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
