How reproducible:
Reproducible every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download any RPM. e.g.

[wahjava@chatteau ~]$ wget
http://wahjava.googlepages.com/apt-cacher-1.5.3-1fc6.noarch.rpm
--13:10:15--  http://wahjava.googlepages.com/apt-cacher-1.5.3-1fc6.noarch.rpm
           => `apt-cacher-1.5.3-1fc6.noarch.rpm'

2. Sign it with "rpm --addsign" .

[wahjava@chatteau ~]$ rpm --addsign apt-cacher-1.5.3-1fc6.noarch.rpm 
Enter pass phrase: 
Pass phrase is good.
apt-cacher-1.5.3-1fc6.noarch.rpm:

Actual results:

Got error.

Expected results:

No error.

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2007-09-03 13:08:20 UTC
This seems to be a gpg error with stdin usage.

Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2007-09-03 13:18:52 UTC
*** Bug 274931 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 Panu Matilainen 2007-09-05 12:45:07 UTC
I do get the warning about stdin reopened too, but other than that worksforme...

I'd guess the issue is with mixed up encodings wrt gpg_name (at least here the
output for this is very strange):
"gpg: skipped "Ashish Shukla (आशीष शà¥Âकà¥Âल) "

Try using the following instead of what you have now in ~/.rpmmacros:
%_gpg_name <wahjava>

Comment 5 Panu Matilainen 2007-09-05 14:11:28 UTC
BTW here's the explanation about the gpg "stdin reopened" complaint, dunno...

Comment 6 Ashish Shukla 2007-09-05 14:49:53 UTC
%_gpg_name <wahjava>

Well above worked. But %_gpg_name with Unicode comment also used to work 
earlier.

What I suspect is that Unicode support in rpm is broken in this version, as 
you can see how "rpm --addsign" emitted Unicode characters, looks like "rpm" 
is assuming ISO-8859-1 encoding. Whereas "gpg" emitted expected Unicode 
characters. And both snippets are copy-pasted from same "xterm" instance. What 
say ? Hmm... ?

Comment 7 Panu Matilainen 2007-09-06 05:11:53 UTC
The related code in rpm hasn't changed in ages, I'd say it's just copy-paste
into editor having messed up things (wouldn't be the first time), ~/.rpmmacros
encoding being non UTF-8 or something like that.

Above is the hex dump of my ".rpmmacros". Doesn't it look like UTF-8 encoded 
file, hmm... I know UTF-8 BOM is missing, but it used to work without BOM 
also.

Comment 9 Panu Matilainen 2008-01-28 07:44:44 UTC
Rpm doesn't know anything about UTF-8 BOM, the current locale is used.
Likely a mismatch between the locale (well character encoding) between
.rpmmacros creation vs your current one, but I don't see a bug here...
