Oh no, you'd be surprised how many of us domestics use the funny things too.
I thought something *was* done to solve issues like this. It's called Unicode. What locale settings do you have? Are they inherited from some old ASCII or Latin1 system, perhaps?
That is a good question. It looks like there is a wide difference among distributions: 11.3 06:56 zephyr:~> noc /etc/sysconfig/language RC_LANG="en_US.UTF-8" RC_LC_ALL="" RC_LC_MESSAGES="" RC_LC_CTYPE="" RC_LC_COLLATE="POSIX" RC_LC_TIME="" RC_LC_NUMERIC="" RC_LC_MONETARY="" RC_LC_PAPER="" ROOT_USES_LANG="yes" AUTO_DETECT_UTF8="no" INSTALLED_LANGUAGES="en_US" INPUT_METHOD="" 11.0 07:02 alchemy:/home/david/suse/pkg/sle_11 # noc /etc/sysconfig/language INPUT_METHOD="" RC_LANG="en_US.UTF-8" RC_LC_ALL="" RC_LC_MESSAGES="" RC_LC_CTYPE="" RC_LC_COLLATE="" RC_LC_TIME="" RC_LC_NUMERIC="" RC_LC_MONETARY="" RC_LC_PAPER="" ROOT_USES_LANG="ctype" AUTO_DETECT_UTF8="no" INSTALLED_LANGUAGES="" Arch 07:04 archangel:~> noc /etc/locale.gen en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_US ISO-8859-1
Or are you saying the repo software is broken?
No, it still works, it just throws out chunks of metadata when it hits the funky characters while createrepo is creating/updating the rpms: 07:05 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms/data> rpm --version rpm (RPM) 5.1.9 07:05 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms/data> createrepo --version createrepo 0.9.8 I guess I could always add 'createrepo --update -d ${REPODIR} > /dev/null', but that seems like a cludge when createrepo has run clean for years before. What locale setting do I need to change to eliminate the problem? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
