https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2263837

            Bug ID: 2263837
           Summary: Using %lua_requires changes locale to "C"
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
            Status: NEW
         Component: lua-rpm-macros
          Assignee: michel(a)michel-slm.name
          Reporter: nphilipp(a)redhat.com
        QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org

                    mhroncok(a)redhat.com, michel(a)michel-slm.name
  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora



Description of problem:
Using the %lua_requires macro sets the locale to "C", an ASCII-only locale.
This can cause problems if Unicode strings are processed further on (e.g.
rpmautospec dealing with umlauts in names).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lua-srpm-macros-1-11.fc40

How reproducible:
Reproducible.

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Ensure that `rpmautospec` doesn’t have a workaround for this (adapt dist tag
to Fedora release): `sudo dnf downgrade python3-rpmautospec-0.6.0-2.fc40`
1. Try to `fedpkg mockbuild` the lua-posix package.

Actual results:
nils@makake:~/dist-git/fedora/rpms/lua-posix (rawhide)> fedpkg mockbuild
Not downloading already downloaded lua-posix-36.2.1.tar.gz
Could not execute mockbuild: 'ascii' codec can't encode character
'\xf6' in
position 3339: ordinal not in range(128)

Expected results:
Builds the SRPM and then builds the package in mock.

Additional info:
Rpmautospec 0.6.1 is more robust against non-UTF8 locales, but this could
trigger unexpected behavior elsewhere.
