The filenames are generated by the rdoc tool - nothing to do with dnsruby or its packaging. This leads me to believe that all Ruby gems packaged as rpms would have this same problem - and yet this is surely not the case? right, though checking on mine, there is actually one other one: $ find /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/ |grep 3d |grep -v Dnsruby /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/pg-0.11.0/ri/PGconn/internal_encoding%3d-i.yaml > As a workaround, I suppose it's worth mentioning that the doc folder could simply be removed from the gem installation. That would then give an rpm with the Ruby code, but without access to the ri documentation system. Does this also contravene rpm guidelines? I talked about that, and was told they preferred the broken filenames over not having anything. Which is why it ended up packaged with these mistakes in fedora.
