The warning message is emitted just to ensure that all the > man pages are correctly converted to UTF-8 because all the man pages should use > universal encoding at the time.

Why should an end user be informed of this? Shouldn't this be something package maintainers need to worry about? This warning is missleading and has no benefit to any end user unless you are a package maintainer. > If you see such a warning, please check to which package the man page belongs > (rpm -qf /path/to/man/page) and report it as a new bug against this package. You > can Cc me on the bug so that I can react. Again, why would an end user be responsible for reporting these fixes? As an RHEL customer I would expect that an upgrade would not result in half our man pages to suddenly contain this warning at the start. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
