It looks like createrepo > is choking on something in the changelog of the rawhide libXdamage. Er, to clarify, file a bug *against preupgrade*. I'm pretty sure createrepo handles this normally outside of preupgrade so I'm probably setting something up wrong. The most recent changelog entry in libXdamage is: * Wed Dec 03 2008 Caolán McNamara <caolanm@xxxxxxxxxx> - 1.1.1-5 - rebuild to get provides pkgconfig(xdamage) Guess we're not handling that UTF-8 'á' properly. -w -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
