mergerepos issue

[Jitesh Shah]

Hi all,
I have attached an external repo to one of my build tags. After
attaching the repo, I issued a "koji regen-repo <tag>". This is what I
get:

1348/2199 - kde-l10n-Walloon-4.2.2-1.fc11.noarch
1349/2199 - kde-l10n-Lithuanian-4.2.2-1.fc11.noarch
1350/2199 - 1:perl-Error-0.17015-2.fc11.noarch

Unicode error?
I don't get it!
Any pointers?

Aaah .. some RPMs have unicode in their 'provides' tag which causes this
problem. Temporarily, I have removed those from the external repo and it
works fine :)

I bet the provides did not have unicode but had random other encoding.

-sv

aah... may be.. I just assumed it was unicode because it wasn't ASCII ... ignorance :)

Would just like to add that createrepo/yum seem to handle the unicode/random encoding pretty well.
