Description Daniel Resare 2002-08-07 08:52:09 UTC

Description of Problem:

Alignment of the progress bar gets broken by an UTF-8 locale with non-ascii in
the progress bar description, for example sv_SE.UTF-8. An illustration:

[root@ulysses RPMS]# rpm -Uvh cadaver-0.19.1-6.i386.rpm 
Fvrbereder...              ########################################### [100%]
   1:cadaver                ########################################### [100%]
[root@ulysses RPMS]# rpm -e cadaver
[root@ulysses RPMS]# LANG=C rpm -Uvh cadaver-0.19.1-6.i386.rpm 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:cadaver                ########################################### [100%]
[root@ulysses RPMS]# rpm -e cadaver
[root@ulysses RPMS]# LANG=sv_SE.iso-8859-15 rpm -Uvh cadaver-0.19.1-6.i386.rpm 
F&#65533;rbereder...               ########################################### [100%]
   1:cadaver                ########################################### [100%]

Using a non UTF-8 locale fixes the problem (exept for the fact that non-ascii
doesn't get printed properly)

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2002-08-07 20:35:03 UTC

rpm has not a clue about UTF-8. The translation
could/should be made preserving the length of the
string if necessary. Otherwise the "fix" (if any)
will be to rip hash marks and -h out of rpm entirely.
