Special char in desc file will cause pacgraph to throw an error.
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Hi,
one will get an error if the desc file contains a special character. E.g.
"Error reading package /var/lib/pacman/local/openmpi-1.5.3-3"
because the %PACKAGER% has a special char in his name.
Nice program though :)
I am unable to produce this error.
pacgraph -m arch-repo -c openmpi
pacgraph -m arch-repo openmpi
pacgrapg-tk -m arch-repo openmpi
pacman -S openmpi; pacgraph
All of these work fine here.
What version of Python do you have installed? This should just work with Python 3.
I asked around and it could also be a locale bug. What is your $LANG set to? (It should be a utf8 locale.)
Sorry for the delay...
$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
I do have python3 installed.
To elaborate a bit:
$ pacgraph

I have randomly checked a few of the packages that throw an error, all have special chars in them. :(
Sorry, I have no idea what is causing this and I have never heard of it happening to anyone else.
Since I can't make it happen locally, you are on your own. Good luck.
Ok, so it appears that $LANG is not the locale variable responsible. Turns out I had only $LANG set to the UTF chars, the others were all "C" (stupid me). Anyways, if you set LC_ALL to a UTF locale, pacgraph works just fine.
TLDR: my fault, pacgraph works as expected with a UTF locale.
