Quoting Per Jessen : This is very likely in this case a non-UTF8 character in jfsutils.changes.

Bare in mind that build is merging the changes into the %changelog section of the .spec file and the resulting file (as is being injected into the .src.rpm) is being checked on UTF8 compatibility.

Just a small follow up: The error/warning has been there for a while I guess: $> iconv -f ISO-8859-8 -t UTF-8 jfsutils.spec > converted.spec $> diff jfsutils.spec converted.spec 187,191c187,191 < � fix undefined reference to errno < � allow jfs_mkfs to run on regular file < � fix for-loop going past last element of vopen array < � sanity checking on variable this_ag < � s_label displayed incorrectly when 16 chars long ---

· fix undefined reference to errno · allow jfs_mkfs to run on regular file · fix for-loop going past last element of vopen array · sanity checking on variable this_ag · s_label displayed incorrectly when 16 chars long 194,195c194,195 < � fix segmentation fault in mkfs.jfs when given bad block device < � fix jfs_debugfs to display directory index with directory entries

so those are the lines you were looking for :) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

The original error message was misleading: ] non-utf8-spec-file /tmp/rpmlint.jfsutils-1.1.15-1.src.rpm.zuUJ47/jfsutils.spec ] The character encoding of the spec file is not UTF-8.

Hello, looks like this was somehow forgotten/overlooked... Dirk, can you change the rpmlint message (see below) or do I need to open a bugreport? ;-) (No response until wednesday will result in a bugreport.) on Freitag, 1. April 2011, Per Jessen wrote:

Per, would that have helped?

That would have given me a better idea, yes. I'm pretty certain I would have spotted the problem if I had known to look in the changes file too.
