Description of problem: When a package has a UTF-8 encoding error in description (or description encoded in some other charset) rpmlint crashes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlint-0.94-2.el6.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a spec file having characters from other charset in description (e.g. using "echo Łódź | iconv -f utf8 -t cp1250 >> package.spec") 2. Build a package using rpmbuild -ba 3. run "rpmlint -i package.rpm" Actual results: rpmlint-test-tag-not-utf8.noarch: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US utf -> fut, Ute, Utah The value of this tag appears to be misspelled. Please double-check. 0 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

the 'rpmlint' command must be run in non unicode enabled environment: export LC_ALL=POSIX export LANG=POSIX TTY="`/usr/bin/tty`" # stop unicode kbd_mode -a if test -t ; then printf '\033%%@' fi stty -iutf8 uid="`id -u 2>/dev/null`" ||: if [ "$uid" = '0' ]; then [ ! -r "$HOME/.kbd/.keymap_sv" ] || loadkeys "$HOME/.kbd/.keymap_sv" fi in regular interactive shell from Fedora/RHEL it won't crash
Created attachment 757918 [details] Proposed patch This patch fixes the symptom. The origin of the problem is that unicode is deactivated in the test envirnoment.
Created attachment 758063 [details] spec file that doesn't cause the crash in rpmlint
Created attachment 758065 [details] spec file that does cause crash in rpmlint when rpmlint is run in non unicode enabled terminal, this spec file causes it to crash
