Hi,
I am trying to use rpm package on different locales.
I have noticed that rpm uses UTF-8 format to output query result,

I be sure that irrespective of locale or default charset encoding
set, rpm will
always output query results in UTF-8 form.
I have to process the data output by rpm, hence if I mess up in
understanding
the encoding format rpm has used, then data gets garbled.
rpm data is not guaranteed to be encoded in any format.
rpm-4.4.4 has an implementation that imposes utf-8 encoding for
changelogs.
If that conversion to utf-8 is successful, then utf-8 encoding will
be imposed on all string data
within rpm headers.
But deploying a version of rpm that imposes utf-8 encoding is almost
certainly going to take years and years.
