Issue #22848 has been updated by Mark Frost.
I'm not 100% certain this is related... as my Ruby's not as strong as some. However, I ran into a variation of this issue on SuSE10. There's a package on SuSE that has a description like this: gpg(Oc\xE9 Printing Systems GmbH (Oc\xE9 Signature for SLES10 Patch Updates) <[email protected]>) The patch provided above did not work for me. However, if instead of UTF-8 I use force_encoding(ISO-8859-1), it seems to work in this situation. Obviously ISO-8859-1 doesnt cover everything that UTF-8 does... so I'm not really sure how desirable this would be as a fix. I just wanted to make note of it, however, for whoever ultimately tackles this issue. ---------------------------------------- Bug #22848: Encoding bug in Puppet 3.3.1 when using Ruby 1.9.3 (and above) https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22848#change-99093 * Author: Jos Backus * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: High * Assignee: * Category: ruby19 * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.3.1 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- One of our RPM packages has some UTF-8 characters in its description, leading to an exception ("Error: Could not prefetch package provider 'yum': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII") in rpm.rb, causing no packages to be upgraded as the yumhelper.py invocation code raises that error. Priority=High because it breaks file { ensure => latest; }. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
